TRANSFORMING COMPANY BUILDERS INTO BRAND BUILDERS

Bust is an early-stage investor and brand builder. We deploy capital and creativity.

Favorable market economics, an innovative product, initial funding and a great team is not enough anymore. We believe the ability to build a sticky brand at an early stage has become the decisive competitive advantage of 2020's.
‍
At Bust, we’re here to help build the next generation of standout businesses. So we don’t follow the typical VC playbook. Instead, we combine capital and creative power to transform company builders into brand creators, on their path to market leadership.

OUR APPROACH

EARLY BIRDS

We invest early, from angel to seed, in ideas that are ready to get in front of the right people.
‍

NOT A FUND

We’re a family-backed investment firm with evergreen capital. This means we are in it for the long haul – without exit deadlines.

SECTOR DOESN’T MATTER

We back tech-enabled businesses and aren’t hung up on sectors. If your idea meets a real need, we’re listening.

LOCAL FOCUS

We start local, but we think big and have the muscle to help you scale internationally.

BRINGING CREATIVITY TO VENTURE CAPITAL

We don’t just provide capital—we’re hands-on partners in building your brand. This  means we go beyond the traditional investor role to help you make a mark.

  • We bring creative thinking and brand strategy to the heart of your business.
  • We connect you with top creative and strategic minds to make it happen.
  • No sweat equity, no fees, no nonsense.
