Blue Chip Venture Company

Overview:

Blue Chip is committed to helping our partners build lasting enterprises. We earn management's respect by being a creative and flexible partner who understands that time is precious and speed is essential. And we're proud to be the investor partner that management calls first when seeking advice, support or guidance.

Our investment philosophy is to:

Partner with companies that have strong, experienced executive teams.
We prefer to work with executive staff and management teams that are highly ethical, passionate and strategic and have a proven track record of success. Our approach to venture capital investments and to the business-building process is the reason our successful entrepreneur partners return to us when seeking funding for their next successful enterprise.

Serve the role of an active lead investor by structuring and negotiating new investment opportunities.
Blue Chip approaches all partner relationships with a leadership mindset that will continue throughout the growth and development of the partner company. In fact, in more than 75 percent of our investments, we embrace this leadership role. Our commitment to lead is further illustrated by the fact that we occupy a seat on the board of directors of virtually all of our partner companies.

Capitalize on our leadership position in the Midwest
We invest about one-half of our capital in companies located in the Midwest, a region in which Blue Chip has developed a strong presence.

Invest in early-stage companies.
Our goal is to maintain a sharp focus on Media & Marketing, Healthcare, and Software & Services companies seeking first- and second-round funding.
