For more than 5 years, Bleu Capital has been investing in early-stage companies in the US and Europe, founded by ambitious, humble, transparent and execution-oriented entrepreneurs. We leverage our operating experience to work with founding teams towards securing profitable growth and financial independence.
Bleu Capital is the venture arm of Jean Pierre Chessé's family office. As a founder, Jean Pierre has scaled his company to hundreds of millions of revenue and 1000+ employees. We bring this know-how to our portfolio and help you build all the necessary fundamentals to become a profitable business. And we give you time to do it. Bleucap is structured as an evergreen fund, with no pressure on time to exit.
Reduced focus on dealflow
We seek to minimize the footprint of our deal-flow processes in order to dedicate the bulk of our bandwidth to our portfolio. Decisions are communicated within 20 days and we commit to transparency on our decision-making.
Progressive capital deployment timeline
Bleu Capital does not have a capital deployment timeline and can therefore focus on building companies. As a rule of thumb, we invest into 2-5 startups each year. We deploy our capital over time, with a continuous and growing participation in follow-on rounds, as soon as the team hits pre-determined execution milestones.
Our goal is to help founders assemble the necessary building blocks to turn ventures into profitable businesses. These blocks are derived from our own operating experiences as well as the collective intelligence of our portfolio. To do so, we generally have a deeper access to you and your performance data than traditional VC funds. This helps us accurately identify and understand your pain points, and we'll get our hands dirty to actively build alongside you.
