Exclusive: Boldstart Ventures Raises $250 Million Fund VII for Inception-Stage Enterprise Bets

General partner Ed Sim says investing exclusively in founders focused on enterprise customers has been key to Boldstart’s success

It’s been a tough market for smaller VCs looking to raise their next fund.

But Boldstart Ventures has broken out of the pack with a $250 million raise for its seventh seed fund, general partner Ed Sim told Newcomer exclusively, to be deployed with technical founders building for the “autonomous enterprise.”

Boldstart is unconventional in that its joint headquarters are in New York and Miami rather than San Francisco, the better to stay close to Fortune 500 companies.

“The thing we’re offering differently is a lens for what the largest enterprises are buying,” Sim said.
