Investment Thesis

Bleu Capital is grounded in the core principle of ‘helping humanity achieve its best possible version.’ As an evergreen fund with a long-term view, they seek to identify major societal and technological shifts early enough to contribute meaningfully to their development while timing investments to benefit from widespread adoption. Their approach is rooted in founder Jean Pierre Chessé’s entrepreneurial experience building a $100M+ business through bootstrapping, which instilled principles of efficient growth, creativity through constraints, and focus on what truly matters.
