Thank you Winter Mead and team, I had a pleasure to attend Coolwater Capital’s demo day in late September. It was great to catch up with so many old and new friends. As a graduate of Coolwater, I’m happy to see the talented teams that pitched in this fabulous event. Good luck to all emerging managers out there ;) #NYC M-Fund Club #connectingthedots

I was thrilled to participate and share what we are pioneering at Pioneer1890 Partners in Coolwater Capital's #DemoDay last week. Our vision is to create the next "#Danaher by leveraging fallen angel venture companies to build the leading critical industry platform & redefine the innovation approach in high-barrier markets.” At Pioneer1890, we believe that as we move from moving electrons to atoms, these mission-critical industries will lead the next chapter in the 4th Industrial Revolution, bringing sweeping transformations to the services and products that are core to our daily lives. We were buoyed to hear about the new platforms fellow Coolwater Capital Partners are building. From providing specialized asymmetric capabilities such as industry-leading branding, financial, and marketing functions with technology-enabled sourcing strategies that will lead the next era in private market asset management. Much gratitude to David Teten, Winter Mead, Raphael Leopold, Sean Chung, and the Coolwater Capital Team for expanding their mission of creating the “YC of PE & Venture” and putting on an impressive event. ?#FallenAngel #DeepTech ?

We did it - Pachamama Ventures was featured this year at Coolwater Capital's 2024 Demo Day in NYC! We had an audience of 150+ LPs in attendance. The ball is in your court, y'all. Thank you for the opportunity, Winter Mead. ?????? #PachamamaVentures #CoolwaterCapital #DemoDay #ClimateWeekNYC

Grateful and Inspired After an Incredible Demo Day in NYC! ?? A huge thank you to Winter Mead, the visionary founder of *Coolwater Capital*, for creating such an inspiring platform for emerging fund managers to showcase their talents and bold ideas. The energy and passion at this event were truly electrifying! ?? A special shout-out to Kenneth Brenneman from Mountain Crest Investment Partners. Kenneth, a fellow military veteran whom I had the privilege of serving alongside as his guest, has taken a leap of faith after leaving his management role at Goldman Sachs to build this fund. His mission to support underrepresented founders is nothing short of amazing and needed in today's world! ?????? Utah was well-represented, and I’m proud to see our state shining on such a prestigious stage. ?? Thank you, Kenneth, for your leadership and for flying the flag high! If you were one of the fund managers who presented feel free to DM me on anyone in my network so that I can make introductions —let's keep changing the world. This was an incredible community of innovators and change-makers! ?? #VC #DemoDay #Entrepreneurship #MilitaryVeterans #UnderrepresentedFounders #Networking #UtahProud #CoolwaterCapital
