Founded in 2008, BootstrapLabs is a leading Venture Capital firm based in Silicon Valley and focused on Applied Artificial Intelligence. BootstrapLabs was the first VC firm to build an AI first investment strategy and invests in visionary founders that solve today’s most important and valuable opportunities by applying Artificial Intelligence, with our 2 first Applied AI funds fully invested and performing at top quartile of US VC funds, today we are today actively investing from our 3rd Applied AI ($115M) seed fund.
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.
Through our Venture Capital funds, Venture Studios, and growth-stage investment models we are investing in Artificial Intelligence applied to The Future of Work (FoW)/Productivity, Mobility, Health, Finance, Cybersecurity, and Energy/Climate.
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.
