Great Investments Begin With Great People
Blasting Capital only partners with passionate Founders and Operators. We bring our capital and business "combat" experience to bear, fueling meaningful long (and short) term opportunities.
About Us
Like many investment firms, Blasting Capital reflects the cumulative experience of its principals - encompassing the successes, the setbacks, and the sometimes exceptional outcomes. BlastCap was established to leverage this expertise in helping management teams anticipate the inevitable challenges inherent in business development, while at the same time identifying and capitalizing on opportunities that others might overlook. Our principals have been on both sides of the table — as operators, investors, and advisors — giving us a unique perspective on what it takes to build and sustain value.
Investment Focus
01
Early Stage Investments
Seed and Series A / B capital for Founders solving identifiable market opportunities. We back conviction and obsessive desires to succeed, and are a trusted partner throughout the life of the investment.
02
Growth Investments
If you are up and running with a proven model and need / want a capital partner who can also help guide you through the inevitable twists and turns, BlastCap is interested in talking.
03
Special Situations
Our Blasting Capital name derives from our belief that sometimes situations need an aggressive jolt to escape the mire, clean up an unsuccessful partnership or be a partner that steps up when all your other investors have pulled back. We're creative at heart and will listen to most every story, regardless of how crazy it might seem to others…
