About

A firm that builds, advises, and reinvests what it learns.

Wade Capital is a young firm working across media, R&D, AI, consulting, and investing.

Mission

Why we exist

Wade Capital exists to build useful things; and to help small organizations use effective technology, research, and strategy in serving their communities.

We take on work we can do properly, describe it in plain terms, and deliver what we agreed to. What we earn and learn on each project goes into the next one.

How we work

Four principles

  1. 01

    Build in public

    We show our work. Our products are live and our progress is visible, and we would rather be judged on what exists than on what is promised.

  2. 02

    Automation first

    Before adding people or process, we ask what can be automated. We apply the same test to our clients’ work.

  3. 03

    Fixed scope over open-ended retainers

    Engagements have a defined deliverable, timeline, and price agreed up front. You know what you are getting and when.

  4. 04

    One venture feeds the next

    Revenue and lessons from each project fund and inform what we build next.
