Blueprint Capital Advisors

What Blueprint Capital Advisors does

Blueprint Capital Advisors is an independent, U.S.-registered alternative investment firm founded in 2015 and headquartered in New York. The firm is built on its founders' experience sourcing emerging alternative investment managers with differentiated strategies that are often overlooked by conventional allocators, and specializes in private capital strategies, credit workouts, restructurings, and fund liquidations. It reports $1.5 billion or more in assets under management across discretionary and non-discretionary accounts and maintains relationships with more than 50 GP funds.

The firm's product platform comprises three offerings: alternative investment management for institutional clients, a portfolio situations practice for complex workout and restructuring engagements, and the Power100 Initiative, a proprietary curation and convening program that brings together influential LPs, GPs, and nonprofit organizations to drive capital access and outperformance. The 2026 Power100 Honoree Dinner convened approximately 500 leaders from institutions collectively overseeing roughly $15 trillion in assets.

Blueprint monetizes through investment advisory fees tied to assets under management, a recurring revenue model consistent with traditional asset management economics. The firm is privately held by founder and CEO Jacob Walthour, with no disclosed parent entity, subsidiaries, funding rounds, or acquisitions. Its go-to-market is event-driven and community-led, anchored by Power100 convenings, CEO podcast appearances, and earned media coverage in outlets such as Bloomberg Businessweek and CNBC.
