Cottonwood Technology FundCheck size: Cottonwood publishes a $1M-$3M first-investment range for seed-stage companies.
Lee Rand contributes to Cottonwood Technology Fund's published strategy: Lead early rounds in patent-based hard-science and deep-technology companies in the U.S. Southwest and Northern Europe.
The firm's public strategy favors founders and companies closely aligned with Deep Tech, Photonics, Quantum at Pre-Seed and Seed and Early Stage stages. No separate personal preference is claimed without first-party evidence.
No person-specific pass list is public. Opportunities outside Cottonwood Technology Fund's stated stages, sectors or geographic mandate are less likely to fit the published strategy.
Show clear fit with Cottonwood Technology Fund's Pre-Seed/Seed/Early Stage mandate, explain the problem and defensibility, provide evidence of traction appropriate to the stage, and state the financing need and use of funds.
