Paul Finney — Co-Founder
I’m Paul, Co-founder of Spacekayak, a creative studio built for ambitious early-stage ventures. Over the past four years, we’ve partnered with 80+ startups, shaping their products, brands, and stories. Together, these companies have raised more than $800M in venture funding. Before Spacekayak, I spent over a decade in the heart of the startup world, building, advising, and investing. Along the way, I’ve had two exits and continue to back founders as an operator angel. My background in film, design, and creative direction keeps me close to craft, while helping founders bring clarity and taste to bold ideas. At Spacekayak, we’re building a world-class creative team for early-stage ventures, one that moves fast, thinks deeply, and makes work that lasts. Always open to connecting with founders, creatives, and investors who believe in the power of great design and storytelling.
