Blu Venture Investors is a venture capital investment company that supports early stage entrepreneurs in the Mid-Atlantic Region – Maryland, Virginia, Washington, DC and North Carolina. We typically invest $500K to $1.0M in a single round. When larger financing rounds are needed, we actively look to syndicate deals with other investment groups in our network. Our goal is an accelerated, successful exit, for both company founders and investors alike. Our investors are experienced, successful operating executives with experience in a broad range of industries and business models. Each of our investors has successfully launched new companies, products or services. The Blu Ventures Affiliate Program is a “by invitation only” group of accredited investors. These investors are provided Blu due diligence materials and quarterly/annual reporting of our portfolio companies. They invest alongside the Blu principals and benefit from our close engagement with our portfolio companies. Affiliates have the opportunity to invest via an opt-in model which mirrors those deals in which Blu members have already agreed to invest. This unique arrangement affords the affiliate members exposure to deal flow they would not see, substantive due diligence, and institutional-quality documentation and governance - all without the time commitment. Twice per year, we invite the affiliates for a Blu meeting and reception to network with principals and one another.

SLS Partners provides stakeholders across the venture ecosystem with structured liquidity solutions. Drawing on our experiences in structured finance and venture capital, we enable GPs, LPs, founders and companies to access liquidity while keeping the upside.

We’re EQT Ventures, a VC built by former founders and operators ready to support the next generation of global winners. Building a global tech company is challenging. We know because we’ve done it too. Without the right people around you, getting to great is almost impossible. That’s why we decided to create EQT Ventures, a new kind of VC, the VC we always wanted on our own startup journeys. A VC that is accessible, supportive and fully committed. A partner that knows what it takes to put everything on the line. A VC built to serve the founders it backs. From offices in Stockholm, London, Berlin, Paris and San Francisco, we invest in and support entrepreneurs building the next-generation of global winners. Entrepreneurs will always be at the core of everything we do. We’re entrepreneurs at heart and there’s nothing we thrive from more than working with founders. No matter where you are on your journey or the challenges you face, chances are we’ve been there too and can overcome them together.

In the start-up ecosystem, talent is everywhere but opportunity is not. Our mission is to correct that imbalance and level the playing field for founders in unusual places. We get involved: Whether it’s recruiting top talent, finding new investors or introducing potential customers, we directly assist founders with their most important priorities. We provide a platform: When you face a problem, it is the best to get the advice of someone who has been there. Over the years, we were fortunate to have met several of these people who managed to overcome serious hurdles We invest from experience: Our team are proven founders and operators in their own right, who bring that experience to the companies we back. We share the success: By distributing part of the overall fund profit, we ensure that when one of our companies succeeds, all of them benefit.
