Investment thesis
WYO VC invests in companies rebuilding America's industrial base, an area it argues capital has long overlooked. Its focus spans two themes: 'Production' (manufacturing, supply chain, materials, and technology for making things at scale) and 'Protection' (dual-use technology, critical infrastructure, and national security systems). The firm concentrates on the Mountain West, leveraging thirteen years of network-building and the annual Wyoming Global Technology Summit its founders have convened since 2014. It views difficulty, complexity, and capital intensity as competitive moats rather than deterrents, and underwrites with institutional discipline drawn from its partners' experience deploying capital across power, infrastructure, and technology globally.
