In order to make these exchanges happen, we harness our access and insights to the specific business outcomes desired by these corporations and create a large, scalable network of users and resources that can be accessed by a startup. We often are responsible for a startup’s first customer or first multi-country and scaling customer.
We improve our ability to generate outsized venture returns because our capital allocation is informed by interaction on the platform.
Portfolio companies we have in our first fund are doing business in dozens of countries globally, have banked tens of millions of dollars in annual recurring revenues, and generated millions of dollars in shareholder value for our community of global corporations. We’re prepared to significantly increase the value we create by startup investing with Fund 2 by expanding the participation of both the number of corporations participating as LPs and the proportion of financial LP participation.
Our B37 Ventures Analyst focused on fund raising will deeply engage with each of the firm’s four partners and be responsible for introducing and maintaining the tools and processes to enhance and advance B37’s institutionalization of a prospective LP base and to identify and create a pipeline of new investors (to complement our existing financial and corporate LP base). Our Fund 2 target is to raise $100M, and we have the momentum of heading to a strong first close with existing Fund 1 LPs.
