Bullpen Capital is a venture capital firm founded in 2010 with headquarters in Menlo Park, California, USA. They specialize in post-seed stage investments, focusing on diverse sectors such as software, PropTech, IT & TMT, hospitality & events, media, business solutions, FinTech & financial services, hardware & manufacturing, retail & e-commerce, sales & marketing, entertainment & sports, A.I. & big data, HealthTech & fitness, gaming & eSports, advertising, analytics, cloud services & infrastructure, developer tools, insurance & InsurTech, local commerce, real estate & construction, healthcare & wellness, investment management, mobile, mobility, online social, and consumer sectors. Bullpen's approach involves investing in early stage companies that have achieved product-market fit but are often overlooked by other investors for reasons such as being in a challenging market space, having a unique team composition, operating in a supposedly small TAM, facing well-funded competitors, or not meeting arbitrary revenue thresholds for larger funding rounds. Bullpen Capital prides themselves on their post-seed financing strategy, which has seen over 100 companies funded in the last decade, aiming to build the next generation of impactful businesses. Their investments range from $600,000 to $2,000,000, with a sweet spot around $1,200,000, focusing on seed to Series A rounds. With $140 million in assets under management, they take on the mantle of nurturing and assisting companies that differ from the typical Silicon Valley startup profile, including success stories like FanDuel, IPSY, Braze, Switchyards, CAMP, CruxOCM, Rei do Pitaco, Brightside, and Swish Analytics.
