Backing founders rooted in their place

We back Colorado founders who could build anywhere, and choose to build here, in the place and the domain they love.

Where “Topo” comes from

We named the fund after two words that describe the founders we want to back.

topo, noun: A topographic map. It shows how the land really rises and falls. That's how well our founders know the nuance of their markets.
topophilia, noun: A love of place. An affinity for where you are and the drive to build there.
Topo Ventures: A fund for founders who are rooted in both: their domain, and the place they build in.

We both chose Colorado, and we've spent the last decade putting our time and reputation behind the founders building here.

Topo is how we put capital behind them too. The platform comes first. The fund follows the relationships, not the other way around.
