Massive has promoted Maggie Rodney to Partner and appointed Matthew Klein as Partner to support the firm's continued platform expansion. The leadership additions highlight Massive's accelerating momentum across its deep technology investment strategy.
BOULDER, Colo., Feb. 18, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Massive, a founder-led venture capital firm investing in inevitable markets driven by deep technology advancements, today announced the promotion of Maggie Rodney to Partner and the addition of Matthew Klein as Partner, as the firm continues to scale its national platform and advance its next phase of growth.
Massive invests at the Seed+ through Series B stages, focusing on commercial inflection points — when breakthrough technology, early traction, and market timing converge and companies transition from innovation to commercial scale. The expansion of the team is a direct response to the increasing activity across Massive's portfolio and growing engagement from founders and co-investors across its core sectors nationally, as well as the firm's long-term strategy to provide critical early scale capital to the Colorado deep tech ecosystem.
Maggie Rodney has been promoted to Partner in recognition of her valuable contributions to the firm's investment activity and ecosystem development. She has played a key role in helping to grow the firm by sourcing and advancing deal flow, managing co-investor relationships, and strengthening the firm's founder and capital partner network. Her promotion reflects both the depth of her leadership and the increasing responsibility she has assumed across the firm's investment- and partner-facing work as Massive continues to build for the long term.
Matthew Klein joins Massive as Partner, bringing more than a decade of experience across entrepreneurship, venture investing, and advisory work with founders, family offices, and institutional investors. He has built and exited venture-backed companies and advised founders, family offices, and institutions on private market strategy and capital formation across multiple cycles. Matthew's background as both an operator and investor aligns closely with Massive's existing culture and focus on backing companies navigating the transition from breakthrough to scale. At Massive, he will focus on investor relationships, partner engagement, and expanding the firm's broader ecosystem footprint as the platform continues to scale.
Massive's investment thesis spans foundational and inevitable deep technology sectors addressing some of the world's most ambitious challenges, including vertical AI and hyperscale data, evolved energy and power solutions, cybersecurity and connected systems, and the new space economy. The firm believes the most attractive risk-adjusted returns are generated by investing at moments of commercial inflection — not speculation — when companies demonstrate durability, resilience, and readiness to scale. Massive is known for working closely with founders at the intersection of technical breakthroughs and the realities of scaling a business, customers, infrastructure, and teams.
"Matthew's arrival and Maggie's promotion come at an important moment for Massive," said Ari Newman, General Partner at Massive. "As we continue to build Massive for the long term, expanding our partnership with leaders who are deeply aligned with our inflection-focused approach strengthens both our platform and our ability to support founders and investors at some of the most critical moments in a company's life."
David Mandell, General Partner, added, "At Massive, we believe we are in the early innings of a new industrial era. One that will reshape how the world powers itself, secures its systems, moves and utilizes data, and explores space. Promoting Maggie and welcoming Matthew into the partnership positions the firm well to take advantage of the opportunities this new era offers for capitalizing on these opportunities."
Together, the expanded partnership underscores Massive's commitment to disciplined platform building and its belief that enduring companies are created through deep technical understanding, hands-on execution, and long-term alignment between founders and partners.
