An expansion/growth stage venture capital firm dedicated to investing in transformational companies that redefine and re-imagine a new generation of AI infrastructure, cybersecurity, cloud management, SaaS, consumer products, and health innovations.
The foundation of every great venture is character.
Jay was a board member in my prior company and was instrumental in helping us build, scale and ultimately have a successful exit. That previous experience made partnering with Cheyenne an easy choice. I'm grateful they saw and understood our vision in the early days and they continue to be a partner we can turn to for help and guidance every step of the way.

Mission
We are people-specific, not sector.
Cheyenne Ventures is a unique venture capital firm that provides flexible equity financing solutions to growth/expansion stage companies.
Cheyenne is purpose-built to lead investments or act as part of a broader syndicate of investors in early and growth stage companies, typically alongside top-tier venture capital firms looking to maintain or increase their ownership.
The fund leverages a deep network of limited partners, advisors, CEO’s and VC partners to ensure our success while building our unique investment strategy.
Cheyenne seeks out investment opportunities that are led by visionary and fiercely focused founders and leadership teams who know how to execute while demonstrating significant market momentum and ground breaking innovation. We aim to celebrate leadership rooted in integrity and back entrepreneurs who inspire trust and deliver results. Across a variety of business models, we zero in on visionary founders.
Approach
Selective, Nimble, and Founder-Focused
Cheyenne is unique. We are purposely smaller than the “mega funds” and are closely managed, meaning we are very discriminating about the deals we do but extremely nimble in how we go about doing them. We move quickly, partner seamlessly, and work creatively to structure the financing and help everybody win.
Cheyenne deeply respects founders and those who dare to create change. That appreciation shows up in how we work with companies to help them manage challenges, see around corners, go to market, and scale.
At Cheyenne, we listen deeply. We value the stories founders share, embracing their vision and partnering with them to bring it to life. More than claiming expertise, we prove our commitment through action – by attracting extraordinary founders whose ambition, innovation, integrity, and strategy inspire us every day.
Team
Passionately transforming companies and empowering entrepreneurs, we are a close-knit, collaborative team—deeply invested in every founder we champion and every business we help grow.
