Our focus is on partnering with early-stage businesses at the pre-seed, seed, and series A levels, where our strategic investments and experience in the same trenches of building startups can make a significant impact.
At Philo Ventures, we believe in the transformative power of early-stage businesses. Our investment philosophy is rooted in funding our studio businesses and partnering with visionary founders from the pre-seed, seed, and series A stages. We provide not just capital, but also strategic guidance, industry expertise, and a robust support network to help our portfolio companies thrive. By nurturing innovation and fostering growth, we aim to turn promising startups into industry leaders.






Our Studio Fund One invests in Mountain West businesses, deploying $50k to $2M into innovative, disruptive companies across industries such as B2B Saas, CPG, aerospace, AI automation, insurtech, fintech, digital automotive, and more.
The Philo Sandbox Fund is a $3M fund investing in standout student-led startups from Utah’s university-based Sandbox program. The fund will support more than 30 student-led teams, writing $100K checks at the pre-seed stage as the “first believer, first money in.”
