Investment Thesis

BlueYard invests in technologies that move civilization toward utopia or hold the line against oblivion. They are technology pragmatists investing in the building blocks of a resilient, stable, and prosperous world, operating with a clarifying sense of urgency to address civilization’s most pressing challenges. They explicitly reject templated venture approaches and instead seek n-of-1 companies allergic to convention, betting early on deep risk/opportunity overlaps that others dismiss as too risky, radioactive, or misunderstood.

What Sets Them Apart

Invest early when others hesitate in radioactive spaces (e.g., crypto post-Mt. Gox, AI chips pre-transformer, defense post-Ukraine)
Comfort with volatility and ability to 'fly into the eye of the storm' to see high-resolution data others miss
Seek n-of-1 visions for era of black swans rather than templated approaches
Small equal partnership structure based in US and Europe with deep technical expertise
Track record of founding inception/seed-stage investments that achieved massive outcomes (Filecoin $200M ICO, IonQ IPO, Marvel Fusion $400M raised, Privy acquired by Stripe)
Willing to back misunderstood founders and companies dismissed by mainstream VC
