Cortado Ventures is backing the frontier of American industry from the heart of the Midcontinent. We invest in founders building dual-use, scalable companies in sectors where America’s next strategic advantage will be created,  space, energy, cyber/telecom, advanced manufacturing, logistics, life sciences, and other mission-critical technologies.

Headquartered in Oklahoma City, we’re helping define the region’s emerging tech economy while accelerating the reshoring of the American industrial base. Our team brings decades of operator experience, from CEO seats to national-security, geospatial, and deep-tech backgrounds,  giving founders a true strategic partner from day one. We go far beyond capital with hands-on support in hiring, customer access, operational scaling, and federal market navigation.

Founded in 2020, Cortado Ventures is built to invest at the intersection of commercial adoption and national-security demand. With strong partnerships across industry and government, including relationships with NASA leadership, defense networks, and major corporate innovators, we source proprietary opportunities overlooked by coastal capital and grounded in the historic strengths of the Midcontinent.

We exist to build enduring companies, not just portfolios. From Oklahoma to the broader Midcontinent, we back globally ambitious founders using technology to solve real-world problems in energy, space, logistics, biotech, cyber, and the future of work. Our mission is simple: to create a generational legacy of frontier-tech companies that transform the Midcontinent and strengthen America’s competitive edge.
