    Long Journey Ventures is an early-stage venture fund based in San Francisco that backs 'magically weird' founders with unconventional, frontier-betting ideas. The firm describes itself as 'second believers' who support founders when their visions are too early, too ambitious, or too unconventional for typical gatekeepers.

    Deal activity decreased year-over-year (9 deals in the last 12 months vs 14 prior). Their most common stage is seed (43% of deals). Average disclosed round size is $53.8M (across 99 rounds with reported amounts).
