Bootstrap Venture Partners is a Solana Beach, California-based venture capital firm founded in 2012 by Jean Balgrosky, bridging the gap between angel investors and traditional VCs with over 40 years of combined healthcare and technology experience. The firm invests primarily at seed through Series B stages, targeting early-stage companies in healthcare and enterprise applications whose products improve healthcare outcomes or enterprise operations, with a geographic focus on Southern California. Typical check sizes range from $100,000 to $5 million, with a sweet spot around $1.5 million, and the firm consistently leads investment rounds. Notable portfolio companies include MD Revolution, Rhombus Energy Solutions, Immunicon, CirrusMD, and Scientist.com, with the portfolio producing one IPO and seven acquisitions. A distinctive point of view is the firm’s conviction that early-stage healthcare and technology companies fail due to execution gaps rather than capital shortfalls, leading partners to serve as active board members and operating partners, including acting as interim CIOs.
