Expa

Expa is a San Francisco, California–based startup studio and early-stage investment firm founded in 2013 by Garrett Camp and Naveen Selvadurai that builds and funds technology companies by pairing capital with hands-on product, design and engineering support. The organization operates both as a venture builder—launching internal startup concepts—and as an investor in external founder-led companies, with a portfolio spanning consumer internet, mobile, and enterprise technology businesses. Expa teams work closely with founders from idea through product development and early scaling, offering operational resources in addition to financial backing. Its model emphasizes iterative product validation, iterative design, and founder-centric collaboration alongside traditional seed to Series A investments. Expa’s activities include direct company creation, syndicate investing with co-investors, and providing shared studio support across portfolio ventures. The firm aims to reduce early execution risk by integrating startup creation expertise with strategic capital deployment.
