Denver is becoming a hotbed for startup innovation, and a fresh player has just entered the game with a splash.
Denver Ventures, a new venture capital firm based right in the Mile High City, has officially launched its first dedicated seed fund, raising over $20 million to back early-stage companies that could change the game.
Investing in Tomorrow’s Breakthroughs
This new seed fund is all about supporting entrepreneurs at the very start of their journey.
Denver Ventures plans to invest between $250,000 and $800,000 in promising pre-seed and seed-stage startups.
But they’re not stopping there — the firm will also continue to back growing companies with larger investments ranging from $1 million to $3 million, helping them scale up when the time is right.
Building on a Strong Foundation
Denver Ventures didn’t just appear overnight.
It’s the evolution of Denver Angels, an established investment group that has already managed to grow a portfolio worth over $60 million across various funds.
With this new venture capital firm, the team aims to leverage that experience and momentum to benefit both founders and investors alike.
The Team Behind Denver Ventures
At the helm is CEO David Prichard, alongside partners Elyse Kent, Amy Brandenburg, and David Gold.
Together, they bring decades of experience and a powerful network of CEOs, family offices, and business operators.
This network has already proven instrumental in sourcing deals and driving successful outcomes in the past, and they plan to keep that momentum going.
Backing Innovative Startups Across Industries
Denver Ventures has already made waves by participating in funding rounds for exciting startups like Boom Supersonic, Urban Sky, RADICL, and Pepper.
These investments highlight the firm’s commitment to backing companies with disruptive technologies and strong growth potential.
Bringing in New Expertise on Human Capital
To strengthen its team, Denver Ventures recently brought on Martin Dubin as Human Capital Advisor.
His role will be crucial in helping portfolio companies build strong teams and scale their operations effectively — a key factor in startup success.
