ABOUT BOOTSTRAPLABS
Founded in 2008, BootstrapLabs is a leading Venture Capital firm based in Silicon Valley and focused on Applied Artificial Intelligence. BootstrapLabs invests in and empowers the most talented founders to solve today’s hardest problems by applying artificial intelligence to shape a better future
BootstrapLabs is often the first institutional money and acts as a lead investor in the early stages, with follow-on capital at the growth stages.
Artificial Intelligence is impacting every single sector and we are particularly excited about Transportation, Logistics, Energy, the Future of Work (FoW), Cybersecurity, Internet of Things (IoT), Health, and FinTech.
As entrepreneurs ourselves, we know it takes an exceptional team amplified by a nurturing community to build successful companies, so we stand by our founders in good times and bad times, because the road to success is paved with setbacks, challenges, and lessons learned from past failures – and building something big is hard.
Ultimately we believe technology should always be used to create a positive impact on society, and that founders should always place fellow humans at the heart of their vision.
WHAT FOUNDERS SAY ABOUT BOOTSTRAPLABS
“As an experienced entrepreneur, I know that velocity and community are the most important aspect for success. I was thrilled when BootstrapLabs decided to back me, from day 1, and invited me to build Pathtronic in their ecosystem. Truly feels like another co-founder I can count on.”
“The best VCs don’t just invest in your business, they help you build it. Thanks to BootstrapLabs, we closed a 6 digit deal from one of the world largest fashion retailers, and have many more leads in our funnel.”
“BootstrapLabs helped us recruit our first outside lead engineer, and their recommendation was spot on; this was a key hire for us and it made an incredible difference for our company.”
“Prezi would never be as successful as it is if it wasn’t for BootstrapLabs’ support.”
“BootstrapLabs is the perfect example of a value-add investor. They pour their hearts and minds into the startups they invest in, and they make sure they are there every step of the way to provide the necessary resources for each stage of our development.”
“BootstrapLabs has been a transformational investor for Trusted Insight. They lead my Series A round after encouraging me to stick with my original vision to build a technology company that could disrupt the global alternative asset allocation industry.”
“Not only was BootstrapLabs an early investor in Pryon, they were the first. Others offered to lead & yet we refused them until we met a visionary VC that not only understood the true power of Applied AI but who were also as entrepreneurial as their portfolio’s founders!”
