Discovery Portfolio
Blume’s Discovery Program was launched in August 2020. The intent of the program is to build long-term relationships with great founders and extend Blume’s incredible platform strength and network to such founders while keeping the program distinct from the Core Investments.
The Discovery Program enables us to write small checks in pre-seed/seed rounds backing founders who have had a strong rapport with Blume, such as ex-founders, CXO from our portfolios, or ex-team members, or come highly referred by Blume's deep and trusted partners (coined as the ‘Blume Founders Fund (BFF) program).
The program also allows us to partner with founders with compelling stories, working on ideas we have been intrigued by, or have a thesis.
The bulk of the Discovery checks is a part of the Blume Founders Fund initiative.
The names below reflect the ‘active’ Discovery portfolio investments.
