Jumpstart Ventures

We started venture investing with three objectives: learning, community & philanthropy. With each investment, we seek to learn from and alongside our founders; to bring into our world a community of like minded entrepreneurs who inspire us; and to sponsor companies that bring to bear social value if they succeed. Most importantly, we look for entrepreneurs who relish execution and the opportunity to move mountains, daily, in pursuit of their aspirations.

Bluestein Ventures

Bluestein Ventures is a leading early-stage venture capital fund investing in the future of food. Our focus is game-changing, early-stage ventures across the food industry that redefine how consumers achieve their health and wellness. Our investments span the entire supply chain – both B2C and B2B – with a focus on four areas: high-growth consumer brands, proprietary foodtech, next-gen commerce, and digital technology. Our target stage is Seed to Series A. We’re active investors, going beyond capital to help our portfolio companies develop, iterate, and implement their go-to-market strategy to achieve product-market fit and set the foundation for scale. Since Bluestein was founded in 2014, we have invested in over 40 companies. Notable investments include Factor, the #1 prepared meal-subscription service that exited to HelloFresh in 2020; FourKites, a freight location intelligence platform for large shippers; Meati, a minimally processed fungi-based alternative protein; and Foxtrot, a new-age convenience store. Other investments include Mori, Vive Organic, New Culture, and Provi. To learn more about Bluestein’s investment approach, team and portfolio, please visit https://www.bluesteinventures.com.
