The Fund

logo_b-backgroundBlue Note Ventures is an early stage venture capital fund investing in great technology companies and serving entrepreneurs committed to authentic leadership.

Great Technology Companies

We invest in early stage technology companies that are using disruptive technology to address an unmet need or create a significant efficiency in a large market. In other words, we like investing in companies that are using cool technology to make life easier and better for a lot of people.

Serving Entrepreneurs

We connect founders and CEOs with tools and resources to help them become stronger and more effective leaders. This includes everything from helping create a broader peer community, to executive coaching and facilitated off-sites. We believe that an investment in the growth of the entrepreneur is the best investment we can make – for them and our LPs.

Authentic Leadership

First and foremost, we look to lead by example. We strive to form open and honest relationships with the founders in whom we invest. We also look for entrepreneurs who aspire to be great leaders and to create authentic relationships among their teams – something we view as crucial in the fast paced world of high-growth start-ups.

Investment Strategy

We generally like to be the first institutional capital into a company. Our initial investments range from $100,000 to $500,000 and we prefer to continue to invest up to (and sometimes including) a company’s growth round. We work closely with our portfolio companies as they refine their offering, build their core team, develop their culture, and establish product/market fit.

We Believe…

  • We believe in the power of the entrepreneur to change the world.
  • We believe in authentic leaders and their ability to drive inspiration.
  • We believe in passion as a necessary ingredient for success.
  • We believe in creating community, because everyone needs help in achieving his or her goals.
