Most partners add.

We multiply.

The investment landscape has a gap. VCs bet on high-loss-rate moonshots, and PE buys control. We exist for the "missing middle" - vertical software, AI-native tech, and tech-enabled services businesses ready to scale on their own terms.

Let’s talk

We invest in what's
already working.

Most growth equity firms can help you grow. We'd rather help you compound.

Blueprint pairs flexible capital with hands-on operational muscle to boost what's already working.

What addition looks like:

Capital
A board seat
Quarterly check-ins

What multiplication looks like:

  • Go-to-market build-out
  • Full-stack recruiting
  • M&A / partnership sourcing + execution
  • FP&A build-out
  • AI planning + execution
  • Capital markets support
  • Portfolio company summits
  • RevOps build-out + support
  • Founder coaching + support
  • Honesty
All included.
All hands-on.
We do not charge you for access to our resources like PE.

We aren't here to change what you've built.

We’re here to help you
realize your full potential.

Bootstrapping for as long as you have means that you’re not afraid of hard work. Well, neither are we. To stand out from other growth equity firms, we use what you already have and multiply it with our strengths.

1

Humility and hustle

We operate honestly, openly, and at entrepreneur speed. We believe our working style has successfully earned founders’ trust, though we have to earn it every day

2

Hands-on execution

Playbooks are out. We know what we’re good at and not good at. We work in the trenches with our portfolio in four core areas: Go-to-market, talent, corporate and business development, and AI.

Flexibility

We provide flexible capital solutions to our portfolio. Minority or majority investments. Growth capital. Founder or prior investor liquidity. We can also support companies over multiple funding rounds.

“Our first official funding was from Blueprint Equity out of San Diego... And I remember when I talked to them, I thought, oh, I'm not having to answer these same skeptical questions. It's like they already know this, that this is important. And so we're just talking about the details, the future.”

Our momentum

Built something real?
Great. That's who back.

See how we helped these businesses reach the next level.

Our momentum

Addition is fine. But, you didn’t build all this to just be "fine." 

Revenue

You’re generating $1 - $10 million in recurring revenue but are still bootstrapped or lightly capitalized.

Do we sound like a good partner?

Let’s talk

Emerging market leaders

Our founders are rapidly taking market share from incumbents despite having far fewer resources. How? Most often with the best product.

Early proof with strong potential

Our founders are generating $1 - $10M in recurring revenue upon our investment, growing quickly, and are bootstrapped or lightly capitalized. Growth has been largely inbound, referral-driven, and/or with a limited sales and marketing team in place.

Domain experts, vertically focused

We typically back founders who have lived the problem they are solving, oftentimes focused in a specific vertical market. We believe this expertise and strong network connectivity is a critical moat.

Core workflow

We look for mission-critical products that customers cannot live without. We invest in businesses with strong initial product-market fit that have the right to win and are ready to capture more market share with our capital and expertise to accelerate go-to-market.

True Partner

We look for founders seeking a true partner to work in the trenches with. We do everything we can to empower founding teams, as our best businesses are founder-led.
