Our story

A unicorn founder
and an institutional
investor.

Tandem was founded on a simple belief: the best outcomes happen when founders, investors, and LPs are truly aligned.

Built by a unicorn founder and an institutional investor, we set out to create a venture firm where incentives, conviction, and long-term success point in the same direction.

Where we focus

The Mountain West.

And growth markets across the country.

  • Efficient business models. Capital goes further.
  • Talent beyond the hubs. Exceptional founders are building everywhere.
  • Durable growth markets. Strong economic and industry tailwinds.

When we invest

How we create value

Backed by those who’ve done it.

Tandem is one of fewer than 20 VC firms in the country with a unicorn founder as a General Partner. Founders don’t need high-level advice rooted in theory. They need support from those who’ve done it themselves.

01

Hands-on GTM support

We work alongside founders to sharpen strategy, unlock opportunities, and build efficient, durable growth.

02

Driving Revenue “Operation Leverage”

Our goal is to generate $10M in ARR annually across our portfolio, delivering measurable value that shows up directly in the financial statements.

The Stable
