<aside> ⚠️ The team at Bleu is building a multi-stage fund with an ultra-efficient capital deployment strategy and a deep impact on founders. The traditional VC fund spends 80% of their time on their dealflow and fundraising, and very little time on operational support. Our key objective is to reverse that paradigm by dedicating a majority of our time to founders and automating dealflow sourcing processes.

Bleu Capital was founded to provide a higher standard of support for early-stage technology companies. We only invest in companies where we can add value, and make a limited number of bets each year to maintain our focus on portfolio services.
We have built our process around identifying and supporting entrepreneurially driven businesses through all stages of growth, both internally and externally.
This extends beyond funding rounds; we provide insights into team building, hiring processes, board strategy and fundraising as an extension of our core service as backers of ventures with founder-led cultures.
