Las Vegas venture capital & startups
Las Vegas consumer & infra tech — Sleeper, Zappos, Switch, plus VTF Capital (ex-VegasTechFund).
Las Vegas coverage now spans Sleeper (fantasy/social scale-up), Zappos (Amazon subsidiary, downtown HQ), and Switch (data-center operator taken private in 2022) — with VTF Capital (formerly VegasTechFund) as the local HQ seed firm from the Downtown Project era.
Alias match covers las vegas, henderson, nv, and nevada in fund.location / startup.hq. Do not confuse CES-week press with firm headquarters.

Coverage gaps
-
Additional Nevada angel groups beyond VTF
Often first checks for Strip-adjacent startups; VTF is the structured /fund/ page — others remain offline.
-
Hospitality ops-tech companies HQ’d in Las Vegas
Core to the city thesis (hotels, casinos, conventions); still thinner than consumer/infra anchors.
-
Logistics and last-mile startups serving the Vegas corridor
Baseline thesis includes logistics; few verified Nevada HQ profiles beyond current set.
-
CES-adjacent hardware/consumer brands that incorporate in Nevada
Formation and trade-show presence ≠ HQ we can match; keep as gaps until hq fields are verified.
