About

Cory is a sixth-generation Coloradan, born and raised in Durango—where he lives today. His entrepreneurial journey began in college when he co-founded SnowGate, a startup he led from idea to acquisition in just three years. While serving as Entrepreneur-in-Residence at Boomtown Accelerator, Cory found his stride in helping early-stage founders navigate fundraising. That experience led him to co-found Kokopelli Capital, Colorado’s first pre-seed fund. In 2018, he co-founded the Greater Colorado Venture Fund—now Howdy Partners—where he continues to support founders building ambitious companies outside the usual echo chambers.
