Bridge Builders are those who journey across chasms to provide pathways to help guide others to follow thereafter. Over the past 12 years, we have founded, led, advised, and invested in 50+ ventures and have generated significant returns for our investors.
We combine our deep industry relationships, our access to visionary entrepreneurs and market-driven investors, and our extensive experience at the cross-section of sports, media, entertainment and technology to create unique access to deal flow.
Our investors have provided tremendous industry value and knowledge to help fuel the growth of our partners and investments.
While we lead and frequently syndicate deal flow, our subject matter expertise and deep connections are what differentiate our team. BBVG personally invests alongside our syndicated teams, and we will only present opportunities where we have the utmost conviction in both the venture and the leadership team. We are always looking to expand our network of ideas, investors, entrepreneurs, advisors, and opportunities for investments.

We drive value far beyond the capital that we raise.
Bridge Builder Ventures Group deal flow is driven through the many relationships that our team has built through careers spent founding, incubating, operating, fundraising, and networking companies across all stages of growth. We take pride in our deep relationships, subject matter expertise, and thoughtful investment strategies that privately connect great investors, entrepreneurs, executives, and leadership teams. Many of our founders are executives who we have known for years and are now building their second, third, or even fourth companies. We are proud to be able to be at least a small locomotive to support their efforts.
Leadership
Led by a team of industry investors, entrepreneurs and executives, BBVG features 12 uniquely qualified industry ‘gurus’ who believe that ‘who’ you know is as valuable as ‘what’ you know. We have the experience investing in great founders, networked investors, and forward-thinking businesses with both the experience and relationships to excel.

You’ve crossed the chasm, deep and wide,
Why build this bridge at evening tide?”
The builder lifted his old gray head;
“Good friend, in the path I have come,” he said,
“There followed after me to-day
A youth whose feet must pass this way.
This chasm that has been as naught to me
To that fair-haired youth may a pitfall be;
He, too, must cross in the twilight dim;
Good friend, I am building this bridge for him!”
