In today’s episode of Technovation, we feature a fireside chat from our Metis Strategy Summit, held on May 13, 2025, and moderated by Peter High. The guest is Justin Wexler, General Partner at WndrCo, a venture capital firm focused on scaling AI and enterprise innovation.

In this candid conversation, Justin offers a behind-the-scenes look at how WndrCo identifies, mentors, and scales AI startups into enterprise-ready solutions. With deep involvement in companies like Writer and Natomi, he explores what separates proof-of-concept from production-grade success—and what enterprise CIOs can do to help startups land and expand.

Topics include:

• Bridging the startup-enterprise gap through curated CIO ecosystems
• Designing AI pilots that deliver measurable ROI from day one
• Building internal champions to accelerate deployment
• Evaluating causal AI and agentic workflows in marketing and CX
• How WndrCo supports founders beyond capital—through storytelling, hiring, and scaling
