WireWheel - Sands Capital Ventures

Sands Capital first partnered with WireWheel during its Series A round in July 2018. Our team worked closely with management to help craft and position new privacy-focused products, as well as the company’s go-to-market strategy.

We have also facilitated multiple commercial, strategic and financial introductions, including introducing WireWheel to its lead investor for its Series B financing. Our team has also assisted in helping to identify and recruit key team members, and served as mentors to a very talented, but first time CEO. Sands Capital Partner Mike Graninger sits on the board of the company.
