Investment thesis

Kokopelli Capital focuses on early-stage companies raising Pre-Seed to Series A rounds in the Rocky Mountain and Austin regions. It typically invests $25-50k directly in Pre-Seed rounds and syndicates $100-300k investments with its network in Seed and Series A rounds. The firm emphasizes founder alignment, authenticity, and transparency, often backing founders it already knows and trusts. Rather than operating as a traditional large VC with a big fund, office, team, and management fee, Kokopelli positions itself as a small, hands-on group. Portfolio companies gain access to an active supporting community with expertise across diverse industries.
