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.

Mission

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. Across a variety of business models, we zero in on visionary founders.

We are people-specific, not sector.

Approach

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.

We are listeners. We embrace the story founders tell us and demonstrate our passion to collaborate. While many VC firms claim real operating and investment experience, Cheyenne proves it with our ability to attract founders who are inspired by our vision, success, and strategy.

Select Current and Past Investments

Within the last ten years, Cheyenne and its partners have led or sourced investments that have generated top quartile returns and value exceeding $16 billion.
