Black Jays is an early-stage VC firm based in New York investing in emerging consumer brands and technology-enabled consumer services addressing the needs of modern families. We support Founders improving the lives of families. We are purpose-built to help Founders grow their startups into large, commercially successful enterprises. How we invest We take a patient, collaborative approach to working with our Founders. We are trusted thought partners that enjoy working closely with founding teams at the earliest stages of their journey. We invest early – pre-seed and seed rounds that are often the first institutional capital into a business. We invest in innovation – companies that are purposefully reimagining consumer products and services through technology. We invest in impact - Founders who are looking to meaningfully improve the lives of the customers, patients, and communities they serve. Supporting Founders lies at the core of our operating philosophy. We are drawn to those who are: Visionary — are guided by unique sector insights and a profound commitment to solving a large problem. Collaborative — enjoy working with others to problem-solve and surround themselves with diverse viewpoints. Gritty — operate with an underdog mentality, having overcome adversity in the past, are fueled by a deeply personal desire to succeed. Team Builders — act as beacons for high-quality team members, able to attract and retain the best through a sense of shared mission.
