Investment Focus

Who should take a closer look

Next Frontier Capital is most relevant for founders raising venture-backed rounds in AI/ML, Data Infrastructure, Climate/Cleantech, and Enterprise SaaS, especially across Mountain West (U.S.), Montana, and Utah.

Focus statement

NFC focuses on AI / Data, Climate, Deep Tech, B2B Software, FinTech, Defense Tech and Cybersecurity with a clear geographic emphasis on the Mountain West (Bozeman, MT; Salt Lake City, UT; Boulder, CO) and an orientation toward enterprise and mission-driven technology companies at seed through growth stages.

Value Add

Operator-founded and operator-minded team — partners have prior founder/CEO and operating experience and emphasize owner/operator expertise (e.g., Will Price founded the firm to "partner with mission-driven, talented entrepreneurs").
Strong regional focus and network in the Mountain West (Bozeman, SLC, Boulder) rather than a purely coastal strategy.
Blend of domain/operator experience and quantitative investing pedigree (Richard Harjes' decades in quantitative investment and machine learning-driven strategies).
Hands-on, founder-centric support: customer introductions, recruiting assistance, strategic decision-making and board-level counsel (supported by multiple founder testimonials).
Active community and ecosystem involvement (founders, mentors, accelerator programs and local university/innovation initiatives noted in partner bios).
