Focus on game-changing deep tech innovation: backing technological solutions for real problems.
Purpose
Blue Forest has a simple purpose: to change the world for the better. This is why deep tech is our focus. By solving complex problems, it is uniquely poised to advance humanity. The steam engine, vaccinations, and the internet are amongst the most famous deep tech inventions. Each set the foundations for human advancement and has shaped the world we know today. Today, the need for progress is more drastic than ever. Humanity is fighting on all frontiers to sustainably maintain and improve our quality of life. Whilst the solutions to these challenges remain complex one thing is clear: without innovation they will never be overcome. So, we exist to back disruptive technologies. To ensure that they can be overcome. Our purpose is clear: we back visionary founders driving transformative technologies that ensure a better, sustainable future for all.
Value Proposition
Investing in early-stage deep tech means investing in highly technical founders who are surrounded by highly technical networks. Whilst we rely on our extensive network, which is also at the disposal of our portfolio companies - we are not your highly technical partners. Instead, we are here to provide commercial support in ideation, equity story building, as well as go-to-market and subsequently growth strategies.
Backing Disruptive
Technologies.
