Blumberg Capital is an early-stage venture firm that works closely with innovative entrepreneurs to build exceptional companies. Our team has over a century of relevant experience collaborating with disruptive technology companies in Software, Digital and Social Media, Mobile and Consumer Internet.

Blumberg Capital is headquartered in San Francisco with team members located in New York and Israel.

Blumberg Capital specializes in helping companies from the outset, so we typically make our first investment in either the Seed or Series A round. We invest with like-minded partners, and we are life-cycle investors, so we follow on through future rounds. We are very flexible with our investments; we can invest as little as $100K or as much as several million.
