BlueYard

BlueYard Capital is a venture capital firm founded in 2016, operating as a small, equal partnership with offices in Europe and the United States. Managing roughly $500M in AUM, it invests $500K-$5M at pre-seed to Series A as lead or co-lead investor, backing two kinds of technologies: those that move us toward utopia and those that hold the line against oblivion. Its focus areas span computation & intelligence, engineering/aerospace & defense, biology & chemistry, and crypto. Notable portfolio companies and exits include Privy (acquired by Stripe), Groq, IonQ, Filecoin, Castelion, and Marvel Fusion.
