Kokopelli Capital

What is Kokopelli Capital?

Kokopelli Capital is an investment fund that primarily focuses on early-stage companies located in the Rocky Mountain and Austin regions. They position themselves as founders investing in founders, aligning with startups that are scalable and seeking funding from Pre-Seed to Series A stages.

Kokopelli Capital typically contributes $25-50k in Pre-Seed rounds directly, and in Seed to Series A rounds, they syndicate investments ranging from $100k to $300k with their network. They pride themselves on leveraging their deep connections within the startup community, often choosing to invest in businesses led by founders they have previously worked with and trust implicitly.

Their portfolio companies gain the advantage of an active support network, with extensive expertise across a range of industries. Originating as a group of three friends, Kokopelli Capital does not fit the traditional venture capital mold.

They emphasize their foundation on three core principles: the belief in entrepreneurship as a vital force for change, communities as platforms for fulfillment and possibilities, and the continuous pursuit of learning. They strive to differentiate themselves by operating with complete authenticity and transparency, avoiding the typical structure of large VC firms, including significant management fees and large teams. With hands-on experience in founding companies, they offer a founder-aligned investing model.

Potential investors and startups can view their deal flow through the Kokopelli Syndicate on AngelList, where they actively engage with the entrepreneurial ecosystem.
