We're the ventures arm of blankcollar — built for the AI era, based in Switzerland. We don't write the cheque; we make you fundable. The knowledge from theblankcollar.com, a configured agentic OS on blankcollar.ai, the courses on blankcollar.university, and warm intros to the VCs we work with.
The biggest problem founders face isn't getting the cheque. It's becoming fundable — the pitch deck, the data room, the business model, the first hires, the pricing, the story a real VC will back. The things first-time founders shouldn't have to figure out alone, but always do.
blankcollar.ventures gives you the knowledge from theblankcollar.com, the courses from blankcollar.university, and a configured agentic OS on blankcollar.ai — then opens the doors to the VCs we work with. We don't write the cheque. We make sure you can earn one.
We're notcareer investors.
blankcollar.ventures is run by founders who built, scaled, and exited their own startups. We sat through the pitch reviews, lost the term sheets, hired the wrong first three engineers, and finally figured out what actually moves the needle.
Now we give what we wish we'd had: the playbooks for the hard things, the courses to level up fast, an OS that codifies it all, and a warm intro to the right fund when you're ready — so you don't spend year one re-learning what we already know.
Started companies from a spare laptop and a one-page deck.

Closed the round, sold the company, paid out the cap table.
