Investment thesis
Blossom Capital invests in European technology startups, concentrating on Series A rounds and deliberately limiting itself to roughly 4-5 investments per year. This selectivity allows the firm to dedicate its full expertise to each portfolio company. Beyond capital, Blossom emphasizes a hands-on, day-to-day relationship with founders, focusing on practical support that drives company growth. The firm positions itself as a committed partner backing the best of European tech talent and ambition.
