Investing globally has always been our instinct. Since launching our Early Stage and Growth Funds in San Francisco, we’ve established Early Stage funds in Asia, Europe, and South America. We created these funds to lead rounds at every stage, in every geography. We are actively on the ground across continents, seeing local trends up close, searching for top founders, and bringing them our world of resources. Once we commit to a team, we go to the ends of the earth – connecting entrepreneurs to each other, to customers, and to insights from distant markets – to help them become a global success.

CLiffs is a deep technology-focused investment fund.

B Venture Capital was founded in 2014 with the aim of supporting Brazilian startups and contributing to the growth of a better ecosystem, creating an ideal situation for entrepreneurs to reach their maximum potential. Many startups receive support from angel investors and/or accelerators in very early stages. However, not all startups can make that "big leap" on their own by simply receiving larger investments from venture capital funds. B Venture Capital focuses on this decisive phase for the success of a business. We work together with entrepreneurs to reach potential clients, design growth strategies, develop financial plans for subsequent investment rounds, and help recruit new team members. Additionally, BVC's network offers the opportunity to expand operations to the US, Europe, and Asia.
