Ophelia Brown: How We Raised $432M in a Pandemic; What's New in European Venture Capital | E990
Ophelia Brown, Harry Stebbings
Blossom, a $475 million Series A venture fund co-founded by Ophelia, Imran, and Alex, concentrates its European portfolio on 15 to 20 companies to provide high-touch operational support without relying on traditional investment committees or board seats. Diverging from industry norms, the firm rejects scout models and lead-investor syndication to maximize founder ownership while securing capital through a disciplined strategy that prioritizes speed and growth potential over investor brand prestige. Having overcome initial skepticism as a solo female general partner, Ophelia has established the firm with an explicit goal to become the top-performing venture fund in Europe or globally by 2028 through its concentrated, founder-centric approach.
