Investment thesis
Blossom Street Ventures backs SaaS companies generating $2mm to $30mm in ARR, favoring founders who are resourceful, cash efficient, and pragmatic. The firm leads or follows growth rounds and also participates in 'special situations' including small rounds, fast rounds, and last rounds. It takes a data-first, sector-agnostic approach, prioritizing a company's metrics over market narratives. Commitments are provided within 3 to 5 weeks and term sheets can come in under 10 days when the numbers make the case. Checks range from $1mm to $4mm. The firm accepts direct inbound from founders and does not require a warm introduction, responding to every inquiry.
