Wes Selke

Founder and Managing Director, Better Ventures

About

Wes Selke co-founded HUB Ventures, an accelerator for social impact startups, before joining Better Ventures, giving him hands-on experience coaching founders rather than just providing capital. He operates from Oakland and backs technically complex companies like AI-enabled green chemistry platforms, while arguing that mission-driven founders outperform because they attract better talent than large tech companies.
