BV-Cornerstone’s mission is to drive value in our portfolio by bringing industry expertise together with capital and growth stage companies.

BV-Cornerstone Ventures is a $100 million fund that invests nationwide in growth stage companies with $10 million to $50 million in revenue that are at or nearing profitability. We invest in a variety of industries, including software, business services and telecommunications services. We will only back experienced management teams and prefer companies where management has invested capital. We look for companies that are differentiated in a manner that is significant to a meaningful market segment. We generally back companies that have modest capital requirements, not exceeding $20 million, and 3 to 5 year exit plans. Finally, we seek, as part of our team, a domain expert who is looking to make an investment as well as having some level of ongoing involvement in the company.

Like many venture capital funds, we recognize the value of bringing relevant industry and operational know-how to bear in helping our portfolio companies. However, we are unique in our disciplined pursuit of a small number of successful executives who would like to work with us on investment opportunities in later stage companies where they have domain expertise. When we find the right partner, we actively target our deal flow to find opportunities that are a good fit for both of us.

BV-Cornerstone Ventures is backed by two larger private equity groups, the BV Group and Cornerstone Holdings. Through these investors and the extensive experience of our partners, we are able to access a large network of contacts, numerous attractive later stage companies in multiple industry sectors, and a wide range of expertise. By combining our capital, contacts, quality deal flow and investing acumen with the industry expertise of a proven executive, we are able to invest in companies that have the potential to become industry leaders and actively help them realize this potential.

We believe this strategy creates a win-win-win situation whereby:

Industry experts have the unique opportunity to ensure value creation in an investment by combining their own expertise with the capital and investing expertise of a trusted financial partner and the promise of an established company with significant potential for growth;

Portfolio companies receive the benefit of capital and industry specific guidance to help them achieve rapid growth in revenue and profit; and

The fund is able to maximize shareholder returns.
