Not the Typical VC

Founders deserve better than the black hole. No gatekeepers, no months of maybe, no partner who ghosts after a promising first meeting. We're quantitative by design meaning your metrics tell the story, and we move fast because we want to invest just as much as you want to be done raising. We've led rounds, followed on, and even tripled down in some of our companies.  We've been investing this way since 2014.

Final Committee

Every deal at Blossom Street is worked by a partner, from the first call to the final funding. No junior gatekeepers, no committee theater, just a direct line to a decision-maker who has seen enough to know quickly. Post-investment we stay close through monthly 45-minnute calls that are deliberately informal: no slide decks, no performance theater, just a founder and a partner talking through the good, the bad, and future challenges.

We welcome direct contact from founders and never require a warm intro.

Founder Profiles

We look for founders who are cash efficient, scrappy, and pragmatic.
Below you'll see what we love about the founders we've backed. If they sound familiar, get in touch. No introduction necessary.

Jan Arendtsz

CEO, Celigo

"Jan is the no-bullshit type of founder we love. During the fundraising process, he was more interested in the right solution versus hobnobbing with VC. Despite being based in San Francisco, he's cared deeply about cash efficiency and metrics since day one."

Afif Khoury

CEO, Soci

"We value our relationship with Afif deeply. At one point, he needed a Playstation 10 a few weeks before Christmas. We got it off of Craigslist, met the seller in a Walmart parking lot, and overnighted it to Afif. We're lucky to be invested with him, and at some point we hope he joins us on the darkside."

Shalom Reinman

CEO, Megadata

"Shalom is a heads-down CEO with a numbers-first focus. We were able to assist through a very complicated fundraising process, sourcing the lead investor, and our only regret is we couldn't get more equity here."

Matt Hay

CEO, Bulbshare

"If there is a solution, Matt is going to find it. He listens extremely well and talks to those experts we introduce, because none of us knows everything. His focus on efficiency and cash is as strong as it gets, and our confidence in him to shepherd us to the promised land couldn't be higher."

Jeremy Swift & Ben Dorr

Co-founders, Cordial

"Humility is something we care about deeply, and despite growing Cordial to a leader in their space, Jeremy and Ben have it. Plus, Ben is a hip-hop head like us, which we appreciate."

Jon Kay & Eli Sapir

Co-founders, Apptopia

"If there is someone out there who grinds harder than Jon, we haven't met them. And if we could point Eli's brain to world problems like cancer or climate change, there's a good chance he'd solve them.  They compliment each other beautifully."

Brock Stechman & Brody Dorland

Co-founders, DivvyHQ

"Brock and Brody are relentless. They grind hard, communicate really well, and we work together on problems. There are no secrets between us and we very much love working with them."

Mikhail Dubov & Dmitry Isupov

Co-founders, Chattermill

"Mikhail and Dmitry communicate so effectively, listen well, and have built a best-in-class product that keeps getting better. We're excited about what's coming next for them."
