Why now

Why AI & Deep Tech

The defining investment category of the next decade — and the widest gap between talent and capital.

01

Largest value creation in history

AI is projected to add $15.7 trillion to global GDP by 2030. Early-stage positions represent asymmetric return potential.

02

Differentiated innovation

Women-led deep tech teams are 63% more likely to build for underserved markets — the largest and most durable. Blind spots create alpha.

03

Deep moats = durable returns

Technical IP, proprietary data, and network effects are structurally hard to replicate — producing venture-scale defensibility.

04

Supply-demand imbalance

Less than 2% of AI investment reaches female founders. The talent is there — the capital is not. Bloom is first-mover.

Fund structure
