At Bull City Venture Partners (BCVP), we back high-growth software startups. Our portfolio spans enterprise and AI applications, healthcare, and FinTech, among others, but above all, we invest in people. We partner with visionary founders who are uniquely equipped to solve the world's most pressing challenges. If you’re building something bold, we want to hear from you.
We lead Seed and Series A financings and are often the first institutional investor in a company. Occasionally, when the opportunity is exceptional, we invest in growth-stage businesses. Our check size is initially $250K – $2M.
Headquartered in Durham, NC – nicknamed The Bull City in the 1800s - we focus on companies mostly along the East Coast. Our location provides strategic access to top startup ecosystems, from New York and Boston to Atlanta and Washington, D.C.
