Factor[e] Ventures

About the fund

Factor[e] Ventures, a Fort Collins–based impact investor, combines venture capital and venture building to catalyze climate and development technologies in Africa, India, and other frontier regions. Backed by both philanthropic and commercial partners, its evergreen innovation trust provides pre-seed and seed-stage equity (typically $250,000–$750,000) to high-impact startups and new ventures advancing affordable, scalable solutions in energy, food, water, waste, and mobility. Factor[e] partners with organizations like Equator and GEAPP to plug the fundraising gap for early-stage technology in emerging economies, deploying capital to companies most likely to benefit billions. Returns are recycled to fund new waves of investment, creating a compounding impact model that distinguishes Factor[e] from conventional VCs.
