Backing founders who build here on purpose.

Topo Ventures is an early-stage fund for Colorado founders, and founders with a deep tie to Colorado. We show up before we invest, and we stay after.

Where the name comes from

Two ideas, one map. The terrain you can read, and the love of the place you are standing in.

topo, noun: A topographic map. Lines that show how the land really rises and falls, so you can find your way.
topophilia, noun: A love of place. The bond between people and the ground they build their lives on.
Topo Ventures: A fund for founders who are rooted in both: their domain, and the place they build in.

To customers, hires, operators, and other investors who say yes because someone they trust asked.

Straight answers from people who have built, funded, and supported companies in Colorado.

Events and rooms where the Colorado startup community actually shows up for each other.

Helping the right people hear about the work you are doing, here and beyond the state line.

We have spent years connecting founders, investors, and neighbors across Colorado, and we are both from here, or chose to be.

Topo is how we make that work our job. The platform comes first. The fund follows the relationships, not the other way around.
