Travis Gough

Travis Gough is best documented as a co-founder of Coinsource, a Bitcoin ATM company founded in February 2015. Industry coverage from 2015 and 2016 identified Gough, Sheffield Clark, and Bobby Sharp as the Coinsource co-founders, and a later BBB profile listed Travis Gough as Coinsource COO. Coinsource expanded from early machines in New York, Las Vegas, San Diego, and California into what company coverage described as one of the largest U.S. Bitcoin ATM networks.

In 2017, Gough co-founded Luna Capital with Lindsey Maule and Michael Mazzotta. Quantstamp described Luna Capital as a Silicon Valley cryptocurrency hedge fund and said the fund had traded more than $100 million in digital assets. A 2017 SEC Form D for Luna Capital Fund, LP identified the issuer as a Delaware limited partnership formed in 2017, with a San Francisco business address and a pooled-investment-fund / hedge-fund classification.

Gough’s later public footprint shifts toward real estate investing, sober-living housing, coaching, and lending. His LinkedIn profile lists Rooted Lending and Pepperdine University, and ContactOut lists partner roles at Rooted Sober Living beginning July 2019, Impact Cashflow beginning May 2021, Fixated Capital beginning February 2023, and Rooted Lending beginning August 2025. His education is listed as a bachelor’s degree from Pepperdine University.

• Luna Capital’s crypto-era thesis, as described by Quantstamp, emphasized helping blockchain companies “build a legacy in the industry” and attributed portfolio success to investing in “quality teams.”
• Sector focus is primarily blockchain / cryptocurrency from the Luna Capital and Coinsource period, with later activity shifting toward single-family real estate, sober-living housing, and investor lending.
• Foundersuite categorizes Gough as an angel / HNW investor with a Seed Round stage focus and industry focus in Health & Wellness, Blockchain, and Real Estate.
• In recent LinkedIn activity, Gough stated that he was “pretty much entirely focused on real estate investing and real estate coaching now,” which suggests founders should not assume he is actively allocating to crypto startups without a strong fit.
• Rooted Sober Living’s public positioning is impact-and-income real estate: it works with not-for-profit sober-living operators, identifies homes where operators have demand, negotiates multi-year master leases, and sends deals to a buyers list.
