About

We aim to be the first partner to founders building generational companies in the largest tech hubs outside the coasts - Colorado and Texas.

Investment approach

Thesis
Our sector filter follows from our geographic focus: we back the best founders in Colorado and Texas, whatever they're building. In practice, that's mostly B2B software — SaaS, marketplaces, healthtech, and more — with selective exceptions for hardware and consumer when a team is too good to pass on. The consistent thread: strong founders, first check, close to home.Source (opens in a new tab)
Leads rounds
Sometimes
Lead policy
All of the above. We are comfortable negotiating a term sheet and leading a round. However, for rounds above $2,000,000 it is harder for us to lead from a check-size perspective.
Reserves policy
We reserve for follow-on primarily to get to Series A. That means we may participate in a bridge round or a late seed to help get the company in position for a Series A. We do not hold any reserves for companies that are raising Series A or beyond.
Eligibility
We will consider anything prior to Series A, but if you've already raised more than $2 million you're probably too far along for us. We like to see a product built, or at least a prototype, and a plausible path to the next round of outside financing if things go well with the round in which we're investing.
Traction requirement
We like to see a product built, or at least a prototype, and a plausible path to the next round of outside financing if things go well with the round in which we're investing.
Investing status notes
Our current portfolio strategy is to make 30-35 investments per fund. We typically add 8-12 new portfolio companies per year.
