EJF Ventures

EJF Ventures is the early-stage venture strategy of EJF Capital, the Arlington, Virginia-based asset manager founded by Manny Friedman and Neal Wilson. The fund concentrates on fintech, regtech, and financial-services infrastructure, drawing on EJF Capital's specialty in community banks and structured credit. EJF Ventures typically backs Series A and B rounds where its parent firm's regulatory and capital-markets expertise creates an edge. The team participated in Kashable's $60M Series C, a workplace lending platform for hourly employees.
