Focusing on company needs vs. fund capital deployment needs, we devised our flexible investment strategy to enable leading software companies to raise the right-sized round of funding that fits their business needs. By being flexible on amount invested, ownership requirement and board representation, we positioned BCV to be the ideal partner to entrepreneurs and to their investors.
While our investment strategy is unique, we pride ourselves on our differentiated investment style and values. We work hard to support our entrepreneurs along their journey and thrive to be the best possible partners. We value integrity, humility, consistency, tenacity and hard work above all.
Sector
Leading business application SaaS, open source or infrastructure software companies
Stage
$10-$50 million ARR; we also consider exceptional earlier stage companies with high growth potential
Check Size
$5-$20 million investment as part of $10M-$100 million rounds; we can either lead smaller growth rounds or participate in larger growth rounds
We typically collaborate with a handful of leading early stage VC firms and invest alongside them in growth rounds of some of their best portfolio companies. We are comfortable leading a smaller $10-$30 million growth round with majority participation from insiders and strategic investors or participating with a new lead investor in a larger $30+ million round. We invest $5-$20 million, have no minimum ownership requirements and do not require board representation. We work quickly and efficiently to finalize our diligence and are mindful that management has a business to run. As a new investor, we bring a unique set of skills, lots of energy, an eagerness to add value and support our entrepreneurs on their growth journey.
A right-sized growth round with BCV enables entrepreneurs to raise a round efficiently with minimal disruption to their business and bypassing the long fundraising cycles and months of being distracted. It also enables the company to extend its runway by 24+ months, minimizes unnecessary dilution, maintains current board dynamics and provides the flexibility to consider either a strategic exit or a pre-exit round at a higher valuation. It also enables existing investors to double down on their best companies and allows strategic investors to participate based on the terms set by BCV.
A larger growth round could better capitalize the company and give them enough cushion to execute on an aggressive growth strategy and not worry about fundraising in the near future
