Our Impact

What our partners say.

I certainly wouldn't be where I am today without the support of BIP Ventures.

Colleen Hoke, CEO of ObjectiveHealth

From our first conversation during our capital raise, we have felt a huge sense of trust. They have been a knowledgeable and attentive partner in helping us scale our company and we couldn’t be more excited for the future!

Ryan Mathisen, Co-founder & CEO of GloveBox

We truly appreciate this partnership. The team has been instrumental in helping to guide our growth, as well as offer their expertise and perspective throughout our journey.

John P. Letter, CEO of Proem Behavioral Health

BIP Ventures has been a great partner through the best and the worst of Case Status.

Andy Seavers, Co-founder & CEO of Case Status

All VCs say they are there to help, but how they help differs greatly. BIP Venture's way of delivering help takes many forms, but each manner keeps the focus on what you need as a leader. Balanced, respectful, insightful, mindful and valuable help is what BIP Ventures delivers to our company, and it is making all the difference.

Sean Barry, CEO of Kobiton

Especially when we’ve faced growing pains, this team has shown up. They’ve helped us to pull the right levers at the right times, like knowing when to be aggressive with go-to-market efforts and when to hold tight to operational rigor. And as we’ve grown, they have made sure we are savvy with things like interviewing and compensation so we can build the strongest possible team. With BIP Ventures, we know we’re never going it alone.

Dan Ciprari, CEO of Pointivo
