Upstream VC

Upstream is a venture capital firm in Utah that supports founders in the Intermountain West and beyond. At Upstream, we engage founders to determine the right amount of venture capital to take in order to achieve a well-informed valuation milestone. Rather than giving great founders money and cheering from the sidelines, we become partners with founders from day one. Working collaboratively, we forge a path toward each successive milestone as we shape the future together. With an eye for ground zero startups (Pre Seed & Seed), Upstream helps founders raise enough money to validate their business without suffering undue dilution. By providing guidance and appropriate early capital, we can significantly help founders build companies that top-caliber institutions will want to invest in during subsequent financings.
