A startup thriving outside San Francisco, New York, or Boston proves the product is genuinely compelling. Blueprint's portfolio companies are in major metros but rarely coastal tech hubs. Remote work and market adoption now matter more than where you went to school or who funded you.
if you're building a great company and you're not in San Francisco, New York, or Boston, that probably means your product is pretty darn good. And so that's one of the things that we get behind here at Blueprint is that, how do I show that? I mean, almost all but one of our companies is in a major metro and that's our belief. And then now, you know, with COVID hit when we first started and then I mean, even now, throughout COVID and now the rise of remote work, I mean, it does not matter where you went to school, if you went to school, where you got funding from, if you got funding. What matters is like what is what you're building being adopted by the market. And you can look and feel however you like. We're going to try to find you and partner with you.
