Overview
Blackhorn Ventures was established in 2017 and maintains its headquarters in Denver. The firm operates as a multi-family office that also runs dedicated venture vehicles. Blackhorn targets three core asset classes: venture equity in industrial software, direct co-investments alongside other funds, and platform investments in grid and construction technology. Portfolio companies include Briq, which received a $10 million Series A led by the firm in 2020, Formic, ALICE Technologies, and Ecoworks. Activity spans North America and selected European markets including Germany and the United Kingdom. The firm has closed at least two Industrial Impact Funds. No public disclosure exists on team size or additional offices. No operational events from the last 24 months appear in available records. Blackhorn structures its capital through successive vintage funds rather than a single perpetual vehicle, allowing defined investment periods and separate carry arrangements for each Industrial Impact Fund.
