Matchstick Ventures is an early-stage venture capital firm headquartered in Boulder, Colorado, with a strong focus on investing in software and technology startups. They primarily concentrate on web marketplaces, SaaS, AgroTech, business solutions, retail including e-commerce, sales and marketing, CleanTech, HealthTech and fitness, developer tools, insurance and InsurTech, and woman-focused startups. As a venture capital (VC) firm, Matchstick Ventures positions itself as an active partner for startups in the seed and pre-seed stages, offering investment amounts typically ranging from $250,000 to $650,000, with a sweet spot of around $500,000. They manage assets totaling approximately $30,500,000 and are particularly interested in companies with a founding team that offers unique insights into their industry, market, or technology. Matchstick Ventures prefers startups that have a connection to either The Rockies (CO, UT, MT, AZ, WY, ID, NM) or The North (MN, WI, MI, IA, IL, IN, OH) regions of the United States, and they tend to avoid startups without a connection to these areas. They pride themselves on being 'founder first,' valuing the relationships and trust built with entrepreneurs. Their team has entrepreneurial experience, which they leverage to support and guide the founders in their portfolio. The firm also emphasizes diverse backgrounds and experiences among the founders they back. By investing capital, time, and resources, Matchstick Ventures aims to help ambitious entrepreneurs 'between the coasts' realize their visions and build successful companies.
We invest in software startups in the "seed phase" that have a connection to the Rockies (CO, UT, MT, AZ, WY, ID, NM) or North (MN, WI, MI, IA, IL, IN, OH) regions of the US.
