o Menlo Park-Based Bullpen Capital Closes New $75 Million Fund
Menlo Park, Calif. -- Bullpen Capital, a Menlo Park-based venture capital firm focused on tech startups between seed and Series A rounds, said on Friday it has closed a new $75 million investment fund, the third since its inception in 2010. The fund, known as Bullpen III, included participation from Greenspring Associates, Venture Investment Associates (VIA), Oberlin College and other institutional and individual investors. "Bullpen seeks out startups that have excellent early operating metrics but that are frequently overlooked by the rest of the venture ecosystem," said Paul Martino, a general partner. "Many Bullpen companies are in under-invested categories and geographies or have founders with unusual backgrounds." Bullpen has invested in more than 50 companies, including Fanduel, Ipsy, SpotHero, Namely, Classy and AirMap.
