As an active venture capitalist Sandeep works closely with portfolio companies to ensure they benefit from a strong ecosystem cultivated by the firm through its majority entrepreneur LPs, Speaker Series Platform that brings top-end CIOs/CTOs into private panel events, and an Angel network that has become a great source of quality deal-flow.

The strategy for
BluePointe Ventures
is to invest in innovative companies and fund managers who eschew frontier technology that is responsible for the fast changing human experience. To maximize returns we make early bets via a fund-of-funds model that combines with a direct investment model. BluePointe relies on the relationships and networks the team has built ranging from its Venture Capital Contacts, Design Innovation Studios, Base of Entrepreneur Investors, Bay-area Universities, and its growing network of CIOs to assist in sourcing, vetting, and investing in solid opportunities.
The fund-of-funds invests in emerging managers who have a strong track record in a vertical area and are known to apply an active approach to portfolio management. These are the future stars of seed/early stage investing and are leveraging unique venture models such as co-creation studios, accelerators, and big-data techniques to scan for synergistic deals. Core investments will be post-seed funds that lead deals, take board seats, take approximately half of the round, and fill the rest with strong syndicates.
