About

Red + Blue Ventures is a privately owned and operated, seed and early-stage venture capital fund that invests in companies from the Penn ecosystem

Investment approach

Thesis
We primarily focus on investments in the information technology industry, where our experience and our networks allow us to add the most value to companies. We define this broadly to include hardware, software, ecommerce and technology-enabled services companies that sell to either businesses or consumers. We will consider investments in other areas, however, if the company has a sufficiently strong connection to Penn and a strong syndicate of co-investors with deep domain expertise.Source (opens in a new tab)
Leads rounds
Sometimes
Lead policy
We prefer to lead or co-lead our initial investments, though we will invest as part of a larger syndicate if appropriate.
Takes board seats
Sometimes
Board policy
Post-investment, we prefer to take an active role with the company, often taking a director or observer seat on the Board of Directors.
Eligibility
Typically, a company's connection to Penn could be having a student, faculty member or alumnus in a key management role or the company leveraging core technology that was developed at the university.
Traction requirement
Our seed investments range in size up to $250,000 and are typically in companies that are still in the product development or early revenue phases. Our early-stage investments are somewhat larger and are usually in companies that have achieved early revenue growth.
Investing status notes
If your company has a connection to the University of Pennsylvania ecosystem, we are happy to learn more about your business and help out however we can, including discussing if it may be a fit for our fund.
