our approach and philosophies
Shapeshift
exceptional founders who harbor the passion to build great companies and are a magnet for talent
we invest in technology businesses (B2B and B2C) with “venture pace” growth potential, high margins, recurring revenue, and sustainable competitive advantage
we look for companies targeting large (or potentially) large addressable markets whose growth is guided by macro trends
we look for opportunities where we can significantly help with growth through our expertise, support resources, deep networks, and chemistry with the team
we primarily invest in companies with a Colorado presence – we also look at startups in the Rockies or other mid-west and growing venture states
we invest at the validation and growth stages of a company’s evolution (seed & series A), as a first or early institutional investor, and keep significant reserves for further follow on investment support
We target initial investments between $500k – $2M into Seed and Series A funding rounds between $1M – $5M.
We generally lead rounds, but are also happy to follow, and we enjoy syndicating with other high value-add and aligned investors.
In select cases, we also invest at the ideation and scaling phases. Even if your company may be too early for our investment, we really enjoy developing relationships with founders early and helping out however we can.
times may have changed and founders may look different, but we continue to be guided by these same values and beliefs
we hope these resonate with you
