Ed Sim
boldstart ventures in Miami
Founder of boldstart ventures, partnering from Inception with bold, technical founders reinventing the enterprise.

We collaborate with technical founders well before company creation, lead pre-product rounds at Inception, and rally our early adopter enterprise network to help turn bold ideas into category-creating iconic companies.
