Connecting the Technology Leaders of Tomorrow with the Business Leaders of Today

By Raj Ganguly and Eduardo Saverin, Co-Founders and Partners at B Capital Group

In the summer of 2016, we started B Capital with a simple idea: tech entrepreneurs grow faster with powerful partnerships. We knew from our experience as business builders that partnerships between groundbreaking entrepreneurs and corporate leaders could be mutually transformative. While corporate leaders can scale effectively, they are often too large to innovate quickly. Meanwhile, startups innovate by necessity, but lack critical resources and key access to customers, channels, and partners during the early stages of growth. And venture capital firms are consistently challenged by a lack of infrastructure and resources to connect these two disparate groups. B Capital’s unique value proposition is a platform that bridges this divide, connecting entrepreneurs in need of the resources to scale their businesses with corporations seeking to innovate and partner with emerging technologies.

Since our inception, we have strived to be a launch pad for pioneering entrepreneurs around the world. We have invested in over a dozen companies in the United States, India, Singapore, Ireland, and Hungary. These entrepreneurs and the companies that they are building are transforming industries from healthcare to financial services, insurance, logistics and manufacturing. As a firm founded with the deep-rooted belief that innovation has no borders, we will continue to invest in outstanding ideas and entrepreneurs with a “global first” approach.

We are honored to have a diverse, industry-leading team of experts and innovators reimagining venture capital and driving sustainable businesses. Complimented by the support of The Boston Consulting Group, B Capital focuses on providing capital and connectivity, which fuels our companies to achieve exponential growth. Since the firm’s launch, B Capital has supported a diverse set of remarkable portfolio companies including AImotive, Bright.md, Capital Match, CXA, Evidation Health, Icertis, INTURN, Lanetix, Mswipe, Ninja Van and SilverCloud Health. Recently, we completed the final close of our fund at $360M, substantially ahead of our target. While our original plan to invest in 20-25 companies remains unchanged, this allows us to continue supporting our portfolio companies with additional capital.

Today, as a team of 25 people, we are excited to build a different type of digital technology investment firm. We are unified in our belief that all ideas matter, but that good ideas with powerful execution create greater impact than powerful ideas with only good execution. We believe in breaking down walls, bringing people together and creating meaningful partnerships. We realize we are early in our journey and that the road ahead is never easy, especially when it is only partly paved. 

We thank the entrepreneurs, investors, co-investors, our partners at The Boston Consulting Group, and our invaluable colleagues at B Capital for embarking on this adventure with us.
