Mitchell Kokko is a General Partner at Valley Capital Partners, focused on web3 infrastructure, deep tech, healthcare IT, and enterprise focused software.

Prior to joining Valley Capital, Mitchell was a principal and investment committee member at the Notre Dame Pit Road Fund, Notre Dame’s pre-seed and seed stage fund investing into faculty, staff, student, alumni and community technologies. Mitchell led diligence and investment into a portfolio of 43 companies, with notable deals including Simba Chain (Series A led by Valley Capital Partners), Madison Reed (Series D led by Norwest Venture Partners), Sagespot (Seed led by Khosla Ventures), Ritual Media (Seed led by Pivot North Capital), and Atlas 3D (exited to Siemens).

Mitchell is a graduate of the University of Notre Dame’s Mendoza College of Business, with a Bachelors of Business Administration.
