About The Fund

Founded in New York in 2010, Boldstart Ventures is a venture capital firm that operates principally in the enterprise technology space, leading pre-product rounds at inception and investing in companies across a vast array of sectors including enterprise, SaaS, smart data, blockchain, information technology, mobile technology, media, financial services, hardware manufacturing, artificial intelligence, big data, web security, privacy, developer tools, real estate, construction, investment management, and consumer products, with a particular focus on women-led startups. With a deliberate emphasis on seed, startup, and pre-seed stages, Boldstart Ventures operates as a VC with deep specializations in equity investments, managing assets under $112 million. Their minimum investment starts at $250,000, with a cap of $2 million and a sweet spot of $1 million for initial investments. They describe themselves as a 'day one partner for developer-first and SaaS founders,' and have been guiding technical founders since before the creation of their companies. They are highly collaborative, tapping into their extensive network to help startups transition their ideas into successful, category-creating iconic companies. Noteworthy collaborations include Snyk, Blockdaemon, Kustomer, BigID, and Superhuman. Boldstart views the journey from idea to Series A as uniquely challenging, requiring a non-prescriptive approach guided by a strong, supportive partnership which they have continually provided for over a decade.
