Batshit Crazy Ventures

BCV's interests lie within the earliest of startup stages, and our time, effort and resources are therefore primarily dedicated to working with companies that are pre-revenue, pre-seed, and in many cases pre-everything.

Description

Batshit Crazy Ventures (BCV) is an early-stage venture capital firm based in Boulder, Colorado, dedicated to supporting unconventional and high-risk startups. Often described as "pre-everything". BCV maintains an unconventional approach to communication. 

  • Method: Founders are famously encouraged to send a physical letter via the U.S. Postal Service rather than using traditional digital intake forms.
  • Criteria: They prioritize bold founders with disruptive ideas and a fearless approach to innovation, regardless of specific verticals or geographic regions. 

Eligibility

  • Sector Agnostic: They do not limit themselves to specific industry verticals.
  • Geographic Agnostic: While based in Boulder, they have no strict geographic limitations for investments.
  • Stage: Strictly early-stage; companies must be in their nascent, pre-revenue phase.

Process

The firm prides itself on being actively involved in the development of its portfolio companies: 

  • Direct Sourcing: They identify high-potential, often overlooked ventures.
  • Hands-on Support: BCV provides time, effort, and resources beyond just capital to help nascent companies succeed.

What an Applicant can Obtain
