Blue Chip Venture Company

Blue Chip Venture Company is a private equity and venture capital firm established in 1990 and headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, with an active national footprint. It targets technology-enabled companies in digital media and big data, serving consumer advertising, and extends its investments to media, marketing, digital marketing, healthcare, education services, diversified support services, and telecommunications. The firm typically invests in privately held US companies across early to growth stages, financing rounds ranging from a few hundred thousand to several million dollars, often via convertible preferred stock, and may include bridge loans or equity components.

The firm collaborates with existing venture syndicates and pursues opportunities nationwide, including the Midwest and Northeast regions.
