The BPP Approach
We are partners, not bosses.
“We don’t rock the boat — we stabilize it.”
We don’t buy control of your business or tell you how to run it. We partner with you and decide together how to take your business to the next level. Our partnerships with entrepreneurs define us.
We target investments in companies led by experienced, focused management teams with deep domain and management expertise, a burning drive to succeed, and a high level of integrity.
Minority Positions
Expansion capital of $10M–$50M without buying control. Your company stays your company.
Sector Depth
Focused where we have earned expertise: software, tech-enabled services, and healthcare.
Hands-On Help
Recruiting, go-to-market, follow-on capital, exits — the operating work between board meetings, at any hour it’s needed.
