Will Young serves as a General Partner at VTF Capital (formerly VegasTechFund), where he previously led the R&D team at Zappos Labs for five years before returning to build shopping experiences at Zappos. The firm targets pre-seed and seed-stage companies across the United States, focusing exclusively on the future of commerce, including commerce technology, digital brands, and pre-consumer logistics. VTF Capital typically invests between $200,000 and $1 million per deal and emphasizes operational involvement rather than just capital provision. Notable portfolio companies include Buffer, Ban Galvan, Combat Gentlemen, Fanuel, Share, and Pando. Young specializes in commerce, fashion, and company culture, bringing deep Zappos roots to guide startups with technically-minded teams that have already developed a minimum viable product. The firm explicitly avoids gambling, gaming, and nightlife entertainment, preferring revenue-generating startups that solve significant industry problems.
