Aggregate capital in your community and across West Slope Angel chapters.

Few rural ecosystems can boast a unicorn, but the West Slope of Colorado produced a $1.7B exit in Mercury Payment Systems. In fact, the West Slope has a number of notable exits and ever-growing momentum in the startup community. The unparalleled quality of life has drawn an enormous base of financial and intellectual capital. It is WSA’s mission to activate those resources at a regional level for the good of the communities we cherish and to set the model for community connectivity and networking at a much broader scale.

Four Points Funding is proud to serve as managers of West Slope Angels, brining full support and coordination to communities across our region. We passionately believe the best outcomes for everyone result from strong community engagement, and we are committed to bringing together the largest network possible in order to bring the best resources available to companies with the greatest opportunity for success.

Steamboat Launch - August 22nd
Launch is a bi-annual event held in Steamboat Springs that showcases some of the amazing companies being built on the West Slope. The presenters will consist of 3D printed rocket engines, a boutique campsite, eco-friendly ski wax, and artisan made home and kitchen products from around the world.

SCAPE Startup Showcase and Investor Social - September 10th
The Southwest Colorado Accelerator Program for Entrepreneurs has an annual event showcasing the companies graduating from their accelerator. This year, one of SCAPE's companies, GitPrime, sold for $170M. We're excited to meet this cohort's companies. Before the event, West Slope Angels and the Greater Colorado Venture Fund will be hosting an event on angel investing that you can also register for.

We are starting with chapters in Steamboat, Summit County, Roaring Fork Valley, Aspen, Crested Butte, Telluride, and Durango.

It's important to note that by joining West Slope Angels, you do not need to be part of a chapter. Being a member of one or more chapters will give you insight into more location specific events and deals. If you're not near an existing chapter, or you just prefer to operate independently, you scan still receive a monthly newsletter of network wide deals and information.

WSA invests in early stage businesses with ties to rural Colorado, especially on the West Slope.

Companies

We are looking for companies with some level of traction and real growth potential. We focus on typical venture deals investing in equity and convertible debt, but are open to other forms of investing. Check out the Four Points Portfolio to get a better idea about companies we are backing.

Check Size

Typical rounds for companies we are talking to range from $250K - $1.5M. Our check size is in the $100-500k range, often with paired investment from our broader network, and we're not afraid to lead a round. For individual investors, the minimum check size per company is typically $10K.

Structure

There are minimal fees and carry to better leverage investor dollars. There is a one-time fee for lifetime management per company (~$10K) that is shared pro-rata with investors who opt in and a 15% carry on back end profit. There is no up-front commitment. Investments are always on an opt-in per-company basis.
