Flyover Capital

Day-to-day investment decisions sit with founding managing partners Thad Langford and Keith Molzer, alongside managing partner Dan Kerr. The direct venture team is supported by principal Patrick Berry and senior associate Alexandra O'Hagan-Padron. The fund-of-funds program is led separately by managing partner Tristan Mace, who sources and monitors commitments to external venture managers.

Flyover is structured as a private equity asset manager, not a single-family office. The firm raises capital from external limited partners and deploys it across direct venture investments and a fund-of-funds sleeve. Founding managing partner Keith Molzer previously co-founded a venture-backed technology company, and the broader team frames itself as former operators rather than inheritors of family wealth.

The firm sources directly from a network concentrated in the U.S. interior — it identifies founders in cities such as Kansas City, Indianapolis, Austin, Atlanta, and Nashville, often through local accelerators, university commercialization offices, and operator networks built before the firm's 2014 launch. Its fund-of-funds commitments to managers like Matchstick Ventures and Narya also serve as a referral pipeline for later-stage or adjacent-geography opportunities.

Flyover runs both a direct venture portfolio and a dedicated fund-of-funds program. The fund-of-funds sleeve, led by Tristan Mace, holds commitments to Sapphire Ventures, SemperVirens VC, Commonweal Ventures, Matchstick Ventures, FINTOP Capital, and others. Direct investments are made from a separate pool and concentrate on seed and Series A rounds.

Direct investments concentrate on early-stage rounds — seed, pre-seed, and Series A — with occasional participation in Series B follow-ons, as seen with Verusen and Rentable. The fund-of-funds program invests as a limited partner in venture capital firms that may cover a broader range of stages from seed to growth equity.

The firm's direct portfolio includes rounds where it leads (such as the $6.2 million Mavvrik seed) and rounds where it participates alongside other investors. The fund-of-funds program implicitly co-invests by acting as an LP in external VC funds; individual co-investment rights alongside those GPs are not publicly detailed. The website emphasizes being 'more than local capital' without specifying a formal co-investment vehicle.

Flyover has not publicly disclosed the identity of its limited partners. The firm operates as an independent asset manager raising institutional and likely high-net-worth capital, separate from any disclosed single-family wealth source. Keith Molzer's prior exit from a technology company provides individual operator capital, but the firm's asset base is pooled from external LPs.
