Telluride Venture Fund is one of the only early-stage investment funds in southwest Colorado, specifically designed to accelerate seed and early-stage technology companies in the Colorado Plateau region with a focus on outdoor recreation and tourism rather than generic tech hubs. The fund operates as part of a broader rural capital infrastructure built by the Telluride Foundation, including Telluride Angels and specialized loan funds, and emerged from the nationally recognized Telluride Venture Network that has produced 80+ graduating companies.
