Greater Colorado Venture Fund — The Nation’s First Rural Focused VC Fund
From day one, GCVF’s mission has been to generate venture returns outside of metro environments using sustainable, repeatable, and profitable investment models. This will lead to growth, job creation, and opportunity for founders and communities regardless of geographical location.
Right now, the vast majority of capital is concentrated in a small number of metro markets, revealing a bias towards innovation and new business creation in urban zip codes. Moreover, new business creation is down, and the majority of the economic growth our country has seen over the last decade plus has been confined to just a handful of urban counties out of the 3007 counties in America.
Talent and opportunity are consolidating. We believe that many of our country’s challenges stem from the divide this creates between communities.
