Fireroad is a full-stack holding company that combines venture capital, venture studio, and investment operations. Founded in 2023 by serial entrepreneurs Tim Metzner and Ry Walker, Fireroad operates through three primary divisions: Fireroad Ventures (early-stage VC investing in pre-seed and seed B2B technology companies), Fireroad HoldCo (acquiring and tech-enabling profitable cash-flowing businesses in trades and home services), and Fireroad Foundry (launching new companies). The organization focuses on partnering with mission-driven founders building technology solutions for SMBs and service-sectors, particularly in the age of AI. With a unique emphasis on founder flourishing and holistic support, Fireroad aims to bring humanity back to venture capital by resourcing founders to stay in the game while building enduring businesses. The team brings decades of experience from founding companies like Astronomer (Cincinnati's first $1B+ unicorn), Coterie Insurance, and Differential venture studio, having collectively raised over $470M and created more than $1.5B in enterprise value.
