Bling Capital is a pre-seed and seed stage venture capital firm with a presence in San Francisco, New York City, Seattle, Austin, and Miami. The firm invests in AI, SaaS, Consumer, Mobile, Marketplace, FinTech, Data, Automation, and Frontier Tech sectors.

We will consider investments in almost any sector or demographic, typically at the seed-stage. Because of our presence in Chicago, we frequently engage with companies that are based here, have lead investors with a Chicago presence, or were founded by students or alumni of Chicago-based universities. However, we enthusiastically invest in companies from any location across the country or the world, so a Chicago presence is not a requirement.

Draper University provides transformational pro-business and entrepreneurship training using unconventional methods that mirror real-world scenarios and pragmatic learning approaches. We are a unique institution that promotes entrepreneurship and disruption of traditional education models. We also provide venture capital investment through Draper University Ventures and the wider Draper Ecosystem.
