We invest in founders who defy the traditional Silicon Valley mold
At the pre-seed and seed stages
People Over Patterns
We back grit over pedigree
Unstoppable drive beats an impressive résumé every time.
We invest in real solutions
If real people have the problem and your product genuinely fixes it, we want to talk.
We look beyond Silicon Valley
Great companies get built everywhere. We've seen that firsthand.
We know great founders break the mold
The ones who don't fit the usual profile are often the most interesting ones to back.
About Us
We are a boutique VC fund located in Salt Lake City led by Kimmy and Sergio.
We spent years in the Bay Area and kept seeing the same thing: great founders that don’t fit the Silicon Valley mold couldn't get a real conversation with investors. That's why we started Beta Boom.
We believe that:
01
A check is the start of the relationship, not the end of it. We work along your side through all the ups and downs.
02
Every founder and every startup has a unique journey. Our job is to figure out the best way to guide and support you on your distinct path.
03
The most creative solutions come from the most original founders–not Silicon Valley clones. We specifically focus on Originals, who think differently.
