Valorem Blue Collar Business Fund 1, LLC has raised $11M over 1 round; too few niche peers to rank its valuation yet.

Synthesized from the figures below est. — every claim rests on a number shown on this page.

Procedural diagnosis est. — rule-based common-sense checks over the filing pattern, issuer name, activity cadence, and surfaced operating evidence.

Issuer-vehicle patternmedium confidence

Valorem Blue Collar Business Fund 1, LLC behaves more like a recurring private-offering issuer than a conventional venture-backed operating company.

Issuer structure
Company-like
No recurring-offering pattern strong enough to override normal financing interpretation.
Lifecycle
1.6 yr record
Peak capital year was 2024 with $20.0M across 1 filings.
Market position
ahead of 75% of Investment Vehicle peers
Capital scale is ahead of 75% of Investment Vehicle peers; modeled value is above 66% of peers by modeled value. Large capital with mid-pack modeled value can signal an issuer/program profile rather than operating-company growth.
Valuation reliability
Normal applicability
Stage/dilution valuation models are weakest when the issuer is broad-sector, recurring, or vehicle-like.
Operating evidence
Sparse
No clear CEO/founder/principal role is surfaced, so operating-company confidence is lower.
Data quality
Needs review
Row-level filing totals differ from canonical totals, so amendment/superseded filtering should be checked.
What triggered this
  • Legal name looks like an issuer vehicle rather than a product company.
  • No clearly named CEO/founder/principal role in the public records surfaced here.
  • No verified homepage on the profile yet.
  • Capital program peaked in 2024: $20.0M across 1 filings.
  • Largest single filing was $20.0M on 2024-11-13.
  • Filing rows sum to $30.5M, while canonical raised total is $10.5M; likely amendments/superseded rows are mixed into the detail view.
How to read the page
  • Read this less like a startup funding journey and more like a capital-raising program.
  • Stage-based valuation and peer labels have lower applicability for this pattern.
  • Canonical filtering should be tightened before using row-level totals for diligence.
