Blueprint Equity is a technology-focused growth equity firm based in Solana Beach, California, dedicated to investing in and scaling high-potential B2B enterprise software companies, particularly bootstrapped or lightly capitalized businesses generating around $1M in recurring revenue.[1][2][3] Its mission centers on partnering with industry veterans to build market-leading, "highly addictive" business-critical applications in sectors like fintech, sales, MarTech, data science, and tech-enabled services, providing $1-15M in flexible capital alongside operational resources to accelerate growth without an "all or nothing" VC approach.[1][2][3] The firm manages about $107.6M in assets (as of June 2022) and has made around 12 investments since inception, including notable deals like CompanyCam, Quativa, Tovuti, and RocketRez, fostering scalability in the startup ecosystem by bridging the gap for North American companies not yet heavily institutionalized.[2][5]
Blueprint Equity was founded in 2018 by Bobby Ocampo and Sheldon Lewis, leveraging their extensive private equity experience across technology, healthcare, and consumer sectors, with over 30 investments and notable exits in North America and Europe.[1][2] The firm emerged from a data-driven, thematic approach to sourcing growth-stage opportunities with strong fundamentals, evolving its focus to obsess over B2B SaaS startups hitting $1M+ ARR—often bootstrapped—that solve real enterprise problems, rather than speculative ideas.[1][3] Early traction included investments like the 2020 $6M Series A lead in CompanyCam, a contractor photo documentation app, which highlighted their model of fueling expansion for proven businesses.[2]
Blueprint Equity rides the wave of maturing B2B SaaS, where bootstrapped enterprise tools demand growth capital amid rising demand for specialized, addictive applications in fragmented verticals like construction, education, healthcare, and fintech.[1][3][5] Timing aligns with a shift from speculative VC to strategic partnerships for proven revenue-generators, capitalizing on market forces like technological advancements in data analytics and the need for scalable, business-critical software post-pandemic.[1][2] By nurturing lightly funded innovators into market leaders—e.g., via investments in contractor CRM or solar software—it influences the ecosystem by reducing founder risk, enabling faster dominance in niches, and promoting sustainable scaling over hype-driven growth.[3][5]
Blueprint Equity is poised to expand its $107M+ AUM by doubling down on vertical SaaS amid AI-driven personalization and data intelligence trends, targeting more $1M+ ARR bootstrappers in high-growth areas like cybersecurity and behavioral health.[2][5] Evolving regulations and remote work will amplify demand for their flexible, hands-on model, potentially growing influence through larger funds or international selectivity. As enterprise software consolidates around "addictive" tools, their veteran-led approach positions them to unlock more outsized returns, reinforcing their role as a vital bridge for sustainable tech scaling.[1][3]
