Frequently asked questions
How does EPIC Ventures source its deals?
EPIC relies on a broad network of venture partners and sector-specific advisors who bring deal flow from their respective industries. The firm lists more than ten venture partners with deep operating experience in SaaS, fintech, healthcare, and cybersecurity. These relationships create a distributed origination model that is particularly concentrated in the Intermountain West technology corridor.
What investment stages does EPIC Ventures target?
EPIC focuses on early-stage technology companies, with emphasis on seed and Series A rounds, and the capacity to participate in follow-on expansion and late-stage financings. The firm does not publish specific check sizes or reserve strategies.
How is EPIC Ventures structured compared to a traditional venture firm?
EPIC operates with a lean general partnership and a large, distributed bench of venture partners and advisors—over ten are listed on the firm's site. This structure functions as a variable-cost origination engine: sector specialists bring deal flow to the partnership without necessarily holding full-time roles. It is a model built for network-driven sourcing rather than centralized investment committee oversight.
