Our Team.

Wasabi Partners is an Atlanta-based strategic advisory and consulting firm founded by Zaria Smith and Ryan Jones to do one thing well: close the distance between the right founders and the right capital.

​

We came to this work through proximity to both sides of the table. We've sat with founders who had the traction, the team, and the vision — and still couldn't break through. We've watched investors deploy into crowded spaces while missing companies that deserved a look. The problem isn't effort. It's access architecture. Wasabi Partners is the access layer. We source, vet, and connect with the rigor investors expect and the relationship founders deserve.
