Investment thesis
The fund backs early-stage, culture-aligned founders building in rural and overlooked regions of Colorado, away from major metro hubs. It provides first-check capital to entrepreneurs across sectors such as AI, outdoor industries, and AgTech, emphasizing vision, grit, and local roots. The thesis holds that companies grounded in their place and values outperform, and the fund seeks to support founders who prioritize fundamentals over hype cycles while remaining connected to their communities and way of life.
