Kevin Colas

Overview

Kevin Colas is an angel investor and managing partner at Snatched Ventures, an early-stage venture capital firm investing at the intersection of deeptech and consumer verticals with a focus on sustainability. He founded Snatched Ventures in late 2020, aiming to back the next era of sustainable operational transformation and efficiency across various science-based technologies. The firm targets sectors such as transportation, logistics, energy, water, food, agriculture, fashion, beauty, retail, and e-commerce, emphasizing companies that combine environmental and financial sustainability. Prior to Snatched Ventures, Kevin founded the Empire Angel Collective (EAC) in 2020, an invite-only syndicate of angel investors focusing on pre-seed to Series C stages in deeptech, consumer tech, and software for brands. Under his leadership, EAC deployed approximately $10 million across 40+ startups with strong deeptech exposure. Kevin also manages his family assets with a verifiable public investing track record, outperforming the S&P since 2003 at Oddo-BHF Private Banking, where he began investing in venture capital in 2013. Kevin's investment strategy involves strict underwriting financial filters, including minimum early revenue, gross margin, cash conversion score, and revenue-to-capex ratio. He seeks to lead Series A rounds and opportunistically participate in Series Seed and B rounds when minimum ownership and underwriting criteria are met. His approach focuses on companies that are ready to deploy and scale now, not in ten years, ensuring they thrive across economic cycles while contributing positively to the planet and society.
