INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY
OUR STRATEGY

Limited VC Exposure

Out of the many venture capital funds in the United States, there are only a select few that exclusively invest in and focus on consumer-facing businesses. Blue Scorpion Investments is one of them. Blue Scorpion Investments is able to provide superior advice and funding to consumer-facing companies because of its unique history focusing exclusively on such businesses.

Increased Entrepreneurship

Today’s consumer-facing market is quickly growing due to its overall lower customer acquisition costs thanks to e-commerce and social media expansion. Realistically, entrepreneurs no longer must lay out millions opening retail stores or spearheading traditional marketing initiatives. This new market, combined with technological advances in both mobile devices and online platforms, has changed how customers consume, leading to more specialized vertical businesses.

Unique Team

The Founding GPs have forged a powerful combination of brand marketing and financial resources, which in turn will benefit Blue Scorpion Investments’ portfolio companies through active management guided by knowledgeable partnerships. Such a foundation resonates with owners and management teams of high-growth consumer-facing businesses, allowing Blue Scorpion Investments to hold a competitive stance during the investment process and an informed and effective stance as partners after closing.
