Chris Wake

Founding Partner at Atypical - we back the future we were promised.

Buzzword, buzzword, impressive stat, name drop, lasers — probably not the Chris that you are looking for. Father to two small humans. Marathon runner. I hunt for the edge cases consensus skips over. The weird, spikey, wild ones that just might work. Low ego, high conviction. Too busy building to posture. Let's build something weird together: chris@atypical.com
