Associate Investor Program
The Associate Investor Program offers a select group of investors the opportunity to invest alongside BVI principals on promising deals. The program operates through an opt-in process for each investment, allowing members to maintain full decision-making control. BVI partners and staff lead the due diligence for prospective deals and present a summary of their findings to the Associate Investors, enabling Associate Investors to engage and invest in vetted companies without committing an abundance of time.
