With the European tech scene experiencing rapid growth over the past few years, BCV is keen to be part of this emerging ecosystem and partner with founders and investors in the region.
The office will be headed by Victor Yaw, who has been involved in BCV's investments such as Paradox, Trulioo, and Go1, as well as Cognism, Templafy, and LMS365 in Europe.
“We’re thrilled that Victor will be leading our efforts to expand our global footprint; we have been deepening our presence across various regions since raising our fourth fund and see a surge in high-quality B2B SaaS companies being built in Europe,” said Rami Rahal, co-founder and Managing Partner of BCV.
Leveraging its deep U.S. roots, its LP network of 100+ technologists and entrepreneurs globally, and connections across equity and debt funds and service providers, BCV aims to bring a unique set of value-add to European B2B SaaS companies. Through its European presence, BCV will also work closely with its existing portfolio companies in the region, supporting them on their growth journey.
“Since our founding, we have remained focused on being the best partners to our entrepreneurs and their teams,” said Mir Arif, co-founder and Managing Partner of BCV. “We are proud of our readiness to roll up our sleeves and add value, whether by acting as a sounding board to founders, or by assisting with strategy, M&A, recruiting, or customer introductions.”
Berlin was a natural choice for BCV's expansion into Europe, given its status as a tech hub for the region, its location at the heart of the Europe, and its connectivity with other major European cities. The city has a supportive ecosystem for early-stage startups and is quickly emerging as a major hub for companies looking to scale to multi-billion outcomes.
“We are at a key inflection point for B2B SaaS in Europe," said Victor Yaw. "We’ve seen the emergence of a next generation of company builders that have developed the expertise to truly scale to become category-defining platforms. We are excited about our existing investments in the region and believe that this is just the tip of the iceberg."
