OUR FOCUS

Sectors

At Bull City Venture Partners (BCVP), we back high-growth B2B software startups. Our portfolio spans cloud computing, DevOps, ecommerce, fintech, and healthtech 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.

Geography

Headquartered in Durham, NC - nicknamed The Bull City in the 1800s—we focus on early-stage investments across the east coast, where the majority of our portfolio companies operate. Our location provides strategic access to top startup ecosystems, from New York and Boston to Atlanta and Washington, D.C.

Stage

We lead Pre-Seed, 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 ready to scale.

How We’re Different

A True Team Approach

With 20+ years of investing together, our partners operate as a tight-knit team, leveraging deep relationships and collective experience to help founders win. We don’t just invest capital - we invest time, energy, and expertise to help you scale.

Relentless Hustle

We work as hard as the entrepreneurs we back. Whether it’s securing key hires, forging strategic partnerships, or connecting founders with follow-on investors, we are hands-on, proactive, and committed. We’re available when you need us - late nights, weekends, and beyond.

Focused Portfolio, Meaningful Support

Unlike firms that spread themselves thin, we maintain one of the best partner-to-company ratios in venture. This ensures deep engagement, tailored support, and aligned incentives. Your success is our success.

Humility and Openness

We know that without founders, we don’t exist. We approach each investment with curiosity and respect, always eager to learn and evolve. Our open-door policy means we welcome conversations with entrepreneurs from all backgrounds and industries.
