There hasn't been a definitive survey of the venture Capital industry but Boost VC has made several bitcoin investments. Its founders Adam Draper and Brayton Williams are responsible for organizing the Boost Bitcoin Fund which several venture capital firms are participating in. There are also currently 7 bitcoin companies in their 2013 class of startups.
