Our Story

Our History

BVP was established two decades ago and started out as a boutique corporate finance advisory before becoming a venture investor. We were one of the first dedicated EIIS (then BES) funds in Ireland. Since then we have grown into a multi-asset investment platform, providing a range of capital solutions to companies at various stages of the business life cycle.

We have invested in over 80 companies and have operated through the best and worst economic cycles. This experience is what brings our value, we have seen it all. Our responsibility is to share our experience with the partners we support.
