Batshit Crazy Ventures

Batshit Crazy Ventures (BCV) is an early-stage venture capital firm based in Boulder, Colorado. Founded by Dane McDonald and Alex Bogusky, the firm focuses on investing in startups that are pre-revenue, pre-seed, and in many cases, pre-everything. BCV is particularly interested in companies at the earliest stages of their development, with no specific industry or geographic focus. The firm has a diverse portfolio that includes innovative companies like Liquid Death (a canned water brand with a punk attitude), Ride Cake (electric motorcycles), and Locomation (autonomous trucking). BCV's approach is unconventional, reflected in both their portfolio and their bold, irreverent branding. The team behind BCV brings a wealth of experience in both entrepreneurship and venture capital, with a particular emphasis on consumer brands and tech startups. Their strategy involves not just funding but also actively supporting the growth and development of their portfolio companies through hands-on involvement. BCV's unique, high-risk, high-reward investment philosophy is centered around finding and nurturing companies that might otherwise be overlooked by more traditional venture capital firms​.
