Coelius Capital

Coelius Capital, often known as CoCo Capital, is a San Francisco-based venture capital firm specializing in early-stage technology startups. Founded by seasoned angel investor Geoff Coelius, the firm leverages his extensive track record of identifying and supporting transformative companies from their nascent stages. Coelius Capital primarily targets Pre-Seed, Seed, and select Series A rounds, providing crucial capital and strategic guidance to founders building the next generation of enterprise software, developer tools, fintech, and AI/ML solutions. Their investment philosophy emphasizes strong founding teams, disruptive technologies, and large market opportunities.

The firm's investment strategy is characterized by its founder-friendly approach and deep operational expertise, often acting as a key partner rather than just a capital provider. Coelius Capital typically deploys initial checks ranging from $250,000 to $2,000,000, making them a significant early backer for promising ventures. This flexibility allows them to engage with companies at various points in their early development, from concept validation to initial product-market fit. They are known for their ability to quickly assess opportunities and provide conviction capital, often leading or co-leading early rounds.

Building on Geoff Coelius's personal investment successes in companies like Figma, Plaid, and Notion, Coelius Capital has rapidly built a robust portfolio of its own. As of early 2024, the fund entity has made over 60 investments, demonstrating a high volume of activity in the early-stage ecosystem. Their portfolio companies often benefit from Coelius Capital's network, which includes connections to later-stage investors and potential strategic partners. The firm's focus on foundational technologies aims to support companies that can achieve significant scale and impact across various industries.
