Weekly research of key issues focused on getting to “No” quickly or uncovering a pathway to success.

“BlueTree taught me how to conduct thorough due diligence on early stage companies while I interned there during my MBA. I've been able to take learnings from my time there and apply them at SOSV ($1.3 Bn AUM) where I now manage the due diligence and deal flow pipeline for their HAX brand.”

DEVELOPING GREAT LEADERS
Forging the Next Generation
of Breakthrough Entrepreneurs
We guide, coach, and advise founders — giving our portfolio companies open access to our extensive network of experts, bringing them broad knowledge and lessons learned, and rolling up our sleeves to tackle problems together.
Drawing from our roots in the “Steel City”, BTVC provides the capital, expertise, and diversity of thought that founders and their teams need to move from a good idea to a great business.
Together, let’s forge the next generation of breakthrough ventures to return meaningful value to the Rust Belt region.
“BlueTree has an elevated understanding of the precarious process involved when building an early-stage company. They know how to advise when needed and observe when needed. They have become a truly trusted advisor navigating each twist and turn along with our team.”
