About WISE

WISE Ventures is an emerging venture ecosystem founded by Kiarra Smith.

WISE was created around a simple belief.

Technology should improve how people live — not simply how markets operate.

We focus where technology intersects with healthcare, artificial intelligence, financial empowerment, and longevity.

Healthcare Artificial Intelligence Financial Empowerment Longevity

Current Focus

At this stage, WISE Ventures is focused on sourcing and curating high-quality deal flow for our network of trusted partners, rather than investing directly out of WISE. We remain closely engaged with founders and partners across our thesis areas, and welcome the opportunity to connect.

Global Reach

WISE Ventures sources and curates opportunities worldwide — global in scope, with a base of operations in North America. Challenges surrounding healthcare access, financial empowerment, aging, and technology infrastructure extend beyond geographic boundaries, and we seek opportunities across markets everywhere technology can create meaningful, scalable impact.
