Deal Origination

Investment Process: Stage 1

ntrepreneurs today are selecting venture 'partners' based on broad criteria. Entrepreneurs seek out management, marketing and operating experience from knowledgeable professionals who understand their businesses as a result of first-hand operating experience. The BCV IV team's reputation for providing strategic guidance as well as traditional financial expertise to early stage companies gives BCV a significant advantage in sourcing transactions.

The most significant source of deal origination will be the personal and professional networks and reputation of the general partners and principals. These networks include existing BCV portfolio companies, entrepreneurs, academic institutions, research organizations, other venture firms, attorneys, investment bankers, business associates, search firms, corporate partners and private investors from around the world.
