Frequently asked questions
How does Geekdom Fund source its deal flow?
The fund is deeply integrated with the Geekdom co-working space in San Antonio, giving the investment team physical proximity to early-stage founders. This co-location model creates a proprietary pipeline months before companies formally fundraise. The firm's website instructs founders seeking capital to obtain a warm introduction from someone in the existing network, reinforcing a curated approach rather than an open-submission funnel.
Who runs investment decisions at Geekdom Fund?
Four managing directors — Don Douglas, Michael Girdley, Mike Troy, and Cole Wollak — manage the firm and make investment decisions. The firm operates a flat partnership structure without a designated CEO or CIO, meaning each managing director appears to carry individual deal-making authority within the early-stage mandate.
Is Geekdom Fund structured as a traditional venture capital firm?
No. Geekdom Fund is the investment vehicle attached to Geekdom, a for-profit collaborative workspace in San Antonio. This hybrid structure gives the fund founder-access advantages similar to an accelerator, but it invests with discretionary venture capital discretion. It is not a multi-family office or a fund-of-funds; it makes direct seed-stage equity investments.
What investment stages does Geekdom Fund target?
The firm invests at the earliest stages: pre-seed, seed, and start-up rounds. The portfolio construct is designed to bridge companies toward a Series A, with the firm's published metrics emphasizing follow-on capital attraction as its primary value signal.
Does Geekdom Fund disclose its assets under management?
No. Geekdom Fund does not publicly disclose its AUM or individual fund sizes. All capital figures should be treated as undisclosed until the firm or a regulatory filing provides a verifiable number.
