About
Chet Cotter
Founder & Managing Partner
Chet Cotter is a seasoned entrepreneur, investor, and startup advisor based in Austin, Texas. With over two decades of experience building and scaling companies across the technology landscape, he founded Imaximus to bring institutional-quality guidance to the founders who need it most — those at the earliest and most critical stages of growth.
Chet has a deep track record across SaaS, HealthTech, FinTech, CleanTech, and Consumer — advising founders on fundraising strategy, go-to-market execution, team building, and operational scale. His approach is founder-first: he partners closely with leadership teams, embedding himself in the journey rather than observing from the sidelines.
Rooted in Austin's tech ecosystem, Chet leverages a broad network of co-investors, operators, and advisors to create real leverage for every company he works with.
