BlueStone Venture Partners is a venture capital firm that specializes in the life sciences sector, with a focus on innovative companies in the Biotech, HealthTech and Fitness, Medical Devices and Hospital Services, Healthcare and Wellness, as well as the Pharmaceutical and Medicine industries. They leverage their expertise to invest in early-stage companies, primarily targeting Seed and Series A financing rounds. The fund's investment ranges between $100,000 and $5,000,000, with a sweet spot of around $1,500,000 for their investments. They are known for capitalizing on the strength, creativity, and innovation of entrepreneurial companies situated outside of the traditional investment hubs in the United States, with a particular emphasis on the Southwest region. Recognizing a lack of venture capital support in this area despite the presence of strong universities, unique research centers, and significant infrastructure, BlueStone is dedicated to uncovering and supporting hidden gems in this emerging innovation ecosystem. The firm draws its name and philosophy from turquoise, the native blue stone of the Southwest that signifies attraction of success and money, protection, courage, and friendship. This symbolizes the firm's commitment to partnering with businesses that contribute to their shared innovation landscape. With experienced management skills, existing deal pipelines, and strategic relationships with industry-leading advisors and co-investors, BlueStone Venture Partners aims to make wise investment choices that yield value for both their portfolio companies and investors.
