ABOUT US
Our mission is to support and invest in visionary entrepreneurs who are committed to creating a sustainable and inclusive future.
BlueSky Ventures focuses on making investments into early-stage companies and providing advisory support to help them grow and succeed.
We often invest alongside other investors, including individuals, companies, and investment funds. This aids in pre-deal due diligence, helps to amplify the investment impact and provides greater influence post deal.
In addition to its investment focus, BlueSky Ventures takes on advisory work in its areas of expertise and in areas that will enhance the value it provides to its portfolio companies.
Our Investment Lens and Process
We invest in early-stage and growth companies that align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals for positive change

Diverse management teams make better decisions and build stronger businesses. Our portfolio companies include women at the founder or C-suite level and diverse thinking, culture and experience across the management team

We look for companies who are ambitious and passionate about the problem they are trying to solve. We often invest with companies who have developed a significant technology moat
