- Brightstone currently manages a $100 million venture fund focused on early-growth stage investment opportunities. We leverage the deep operating experience and successful investment background of the Fund's partners, primarily focused on investing in the Technology and Biotechnology sectors. - At Brightstone, we fundamentally like large problems that are amenable to technological disruption. We seek out defensible advantages: proprietary and protected technological advances, business model innovations, and unique partnerships. Most importantly, we invest in “A” teams and founders with a demonstrable history of development/traction. We invest more in people than in a specific plan, because plans often change.
