Rockies Venture Fund is a platform venture capital fund focused on supporting high-growth, early-stage companies with disruptive innovation and clear pathways to significant returns. The fund leverages a unique ecosystem building approach, rooted in the long-standing Rockies Venture Club angel network that has been active since 1985. The philosophy emphasizes supporting entrepreneurs across multiple industries while maintaining relationships with a national network of investors, creating a strong foundation for deal flow and co-investment opportunities. The fund is explicitly committed to diversity and economic development, with special dedication to underserved communities and geographic regions. Their thesis recognizes that exceptional entrepreneurship exists beyond traditional venture hubs, and they are positioned to identify high-potential companies with less competition and more attractive valuations by serving overlooked founders. The Rockies Seed Fund focuses exclusively on pre-seed and seed-stage companies founded by Black, Hispanic, and Indigenous entrepreneurs, with a partnership team that mirrors the entrepreneurs they serve.
