Build where you’re rooted. We’ll meet you there.

Since 2018 we’ve supported the best founders in the best places. Our investment process is transparent, efficient, and built to respect your time. We make early-stage bets in rural Colorado-based companies ready to scale. No fluff. No drawn-out timelines. Just partnership with purpose.

We invest in conviction, not coasts.

Our investment criteria:

  • At least one founder lives in rural Colorado*

  • Committed to being located in Colorado for at least five years

  • Seeking first institutional investment or "growth" capital funding

  • Serving customers well-beyond the company's locality, or is raising funds to scale to customers beyond the company's locality

  • Not a service based business

  • Not a real estate based business

We work with companies headquartered in rural Colorado*.

To be blunt, that means if you are not located in rural Colorado, you are not a fit for us.

*For the purposes of soliciting investment from Howdy Partners, Rural Colorado is defined as any Colorado county with a population of less than 170K.
