Blue Cloud Ventures

Blue Cloud Ventures is a venture capital firm founded in 2012 and based in New York City, with additional offices in Dubai, London, and Singapore. The firm specializes in growth equity investments, focusing primarily on late-stage software companies, particularly in sectors such as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), ad-tech, education, and healthcare IT. Blue Cloud Ventures typically invests between $3 million and $10 million in funding rounds ranging from $10 million to $100 million, and often leads or co-leads investments in growth rounds of $10 million to $30 million. The firm targets companies with revenues between $10 million and $60 million and may also consider exceptional earlier-stage opportunities. For late-stage investments, Blue Cloud Ventures participates alongside existing investors in final funding rounds before an initial public offering or sale, without seeking board representation. The firm aims for successful exits through strategic sales, recapitalizations, or IPOs, positioning itself as a flexible partner for entrepreneurs.
