Investments
What we back — and how to know if we are a fit.
Seed-stage, technology-enabled companies in the Rockies and the broader West. Here’s our criteria, our portfolio, and a two-minute self-assessment.
Investment Focus
We focus on companies that
1
Sector-driven
Operate in sectors like Ag-Tech, Life Sciences, Energy, IOT, and more.
2
Technology-first
Use cutting-edge technology to solve significant problems.
3
High-growth potential
Have potential for 10x returns within 5-7 years.
Investment Criteria
What We Invest In
In order to be the very best at what we do, we need to stay focused. So we can only invest in opportunities that meet all of the following criteria:
Tech-leveraged business models
Where the product is based on some proprietary technology the company developed or licensed.
Scalable opportunities
That have the potential to get very big – companies that plan to be doing $10M or more in annual revenue in just a few years.
Montana-based companies
Looking for a lead investor. We also invest in companies from outside Montana, but only those introduced to us by our network of 50+ highly respected angel groups across the US who have already committed to investing in those companies.
Product at beta stage or beyond
Companies who have a product that is at least in beta test stage if not further along. If you are a regulated medical device or advanced technology company with an SBIR or NIH grant, or have early stage clinical evidence, that's fine. If you are selling software or apps, we need to see evidence that customers are buying (or willing to buy).
