Chris Cooper is a General Partner at Pelion Venture Partners, having joined the Salt Lake City-based firm in 2007 after spending over 17 years in the software and tech industry in roles including sales management, engineering, and corporate venture at Novell. Pelion focuses on early-stage enterprise software investments, primarily at the seed level, with a geographic emphasis on the western United States. Cooper’s typical investment range is $2.0 million to $6.0 million, with a sweet spot around $4.0 million, and he often leads rounds rather than follows. Notable portfolio companies he has backed include Uber, Skullcandy, Scopely, and Coupa, all of which were seed investments made by Pelion. Cooper has not published distinctive public writing or a widely cited point of view separate from Pelion’s general early-stage enterprise software thesis. While he is active in the venture community and serves on advisory boards, there is no publicly documented unique investment philosophy or authored articles attributed specifically to him.
