Description

Geekdom Fund is a San Antonio-based venture capital firm that invests in early-stage IT and software startups. Founded alongside the Geekdom co-working ecosystem, the fund acts as a primary source of institutional capital for high-growth technology companies in Texas and the surrounding regions.

  • Seed & Series A: This is the firm’s core investment window.
  • Traction Required: They seek companies that have moved beyond the "idea" phase, typically requiring a functional Minimum Viable Product (MVP) and early customer validation (pilot revenue or user growth).
  • Method: Founders can submit their pitch materials through the Geekdom Fund contact portal or via the Dealum platform.
  • Materials: A comprehensive pitch deck, executive summary, and 3-year financial projections are required.
  • Vetting Focus: They look for "capital-efficient" software companies that solve specific, high-value problems for enterprise or SMB customers.
  • Community Events: They are frequent sponsors and judges at the Geekdom Community Fund pitch competitions, which occur quarterly for earlier-stage "pre-seed" companies.

Eligibility

  • Geography: Primarily focused on Texas (with a concentration in San Antonio and Austin), but they selectively invest in companies across the United States.
  • Sectors: B2B SaaS, Cybersecurity, Fintech, and Enterprise Software.
  • Business Model: Preference for recurring revenue models with high scalability and low capital intensity.

Process

  1. Direct Sourcing: The team actively sources deals from the Geekdom co-working community and major Texas tech hubs (Austin, Dallas, Houston).
  2. Screening: Initial review by the investment team to assess sector fit, technical defensibility, and market size.
  3. Deep-Dive Diligence: A 4–8 week process involving technical audits, customer references, and financial vetting.
  4. Active Partnership: Post-investment, the fund provides hands-on mentorship in sales strategy, executive hiring, and subsequent fundraising.

What an Applicant can Obtain

  1. Strategic Capital: Access to institutional funding from a firm deeply embedded in the Texas tech ecosystem.
  2. Ecosystem Access: Direct links to the Geekdom co-working community, providing access to talent and a peer network of founders.
  3. Sales Mentorship: Proven playbooks for building initial B2B sales engines and moving from founder-led sales to a professional team.
  4. Follow-on Network: Strong connections to larger Texas and Silicon Valley venture firms for Series B and beyond.
