Bootstrap Venture Partners

About Bootstrap Venture Partners

Bootstrap Venture Partners is a venture capital and incubation firm with offices in San Diego and Encinitas, California, and Noblesville, Indiana. Both a family and a firm, the team considers itself a partnership of equals, equally accountable to each other and the companies they work with, having invested in more than 20 seed and early-stage companies. The firm occupies a deliberate middle ground between angel investing and traditional VC, describing itself as more than money: an investment of industry know-how and human support, helping founders navigate the critical post-launch period of scaling teams, culture, and customer bases once initial revenue begins. Bootstrap's focus centers on healthcare technology, drawing on the team's combined 40 years of healthcare and technology leadership experience, alongside newer interests in EdTech and artificial intelligence. Its portfolio includes CirrusMD, Doctible, Scientist.com (recently acquired by GHO Capital), Sequoia Consulting Group (now Syner-G BioPharma Group), and MD Revolution. The firm's investment approach centers on identifying the "why" behind a company's mission, prioritizing founders building healthcare solutions that can be delivered more simply, to more people, with better outcomes, while bringing hands-on operational support well beyond initial capital.
