00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:01.680
I am here with Raj and Vikas.

305d905c-68c6-45c7-a9fc-924d5585616d-0
00:00:01.680 --> 00:00:06.080
So we're talking about partnerships,
and B Capital and BCG have this amazing

305d905c-68c6-45c7-a9fc-924d5585616d-1
00:00:06.080 --> 00:00:07.280
partnership together.

2120b9e8-7068-4948-8792-092274503afc-0
00:00:07.280 --> 00:00:10.600
So I'm curious from each of your
perspectives, how do you see it?

98c17281-1e2b-4184-bd2e-59178e30593b-0
00:00:10.600 --> 00:00:11.600
Vikas, I'll start with you.

a5b4cf72-8c88-4ca7-825c-1dc23b05af1c-0
00:00:12.280 --> 00:00:17.114
What I tell entrepreneurs and founders is
that when they start working with B

a5b4cf72-8c88-4ca7-825c-1dc23b05af1c-1
00:00:17.114 --> 00:00:19.841
Capital,
not only do they get the excellent

a5b4cf72-8c88-4ca7-825c-1dc23b05af1c-2
00:00:19.841 --> 00:00:22.815
ecosystem and network that B Capital has
built,

a5b4cf72-8c88-4ca7-825c-1dc23b05af1c-3
00:00:22.815 --> 00:00:27.712
but they also inherit very importantly,
the global capabilities and network of

a5b4cf72-8c88-4ca7-825c-1dc23b05af1c-4
00:00:27.712 --> 00:00:27.960
BCG.

b61f72b8-116b-4496-a183-88a97d5dd77e-0
00:00:28.200 --> 00:00:31.201
So if you think about it from a founders
perspective,

b61f72b8-116b-4496-a183-88a97d5dd77e-1
00:00:31.201 --> 00:00:34.924
the value proposition that the
partnership offers is actually just

b61f72b8-116b-4496-a183-88a97d5dd77e-2
00:00:34.924 --> 00:00:38.926
unparalleled in terms of expertise,
in terms of global range and scope,

b61f72b8-116b-4496-a183-88a97d5dd77e-3
00:00:38.926 --> 00:00:40.759
and in terms of functional depth.

7350cd8c-119d-4407-a5da-e4050766b190-0
00:00:41.120 --> 00:00:42.600
How do you see it, Raj?

963a14f9-cb13-42d8-ad5f-d8df28582b64-0
00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:46.708
I think the partnership with BCG has
really been at the core of what B Capital

963a14f9-cb13-42d8-ad5f-d8df28582b64-1
00:00:46.708 --> 00:00:47.280
stands for.

84dd9e98-347b-4636-aa50-c95c33deeb79-0
00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:53.148
So we built B Capital as an investment
firm that was built by founders for other

84dd9e98-347b-4636-aa50-c95c33deeb79-1
00:00:53.148 --> 00:00:53.800
founders.

57a4a12b-d240-4c65-9087-6ea0792a6f93-0
00:00:53.800 --> 00:00:58.133
And as a former founder myself,
what I found was that there was a lot of

57a4a12b-d240-4c65-9087-6ea0792a6f93-1
00:00:58.133 --> 00:01:02.883
great venture capital firms out there,
but we wanted a VC firm that truly added

57a4a12b-d240-4c65-9087-6ea0792a6f93-2
00:01:02.883 --> 00:01:05.080
value, that helped us grow and scale.

8c177ac7-adf6-4005-adc6-7b66ae3e5081-0
00:01:05.080 --> 00:01:09.273
And especially in this current world
where access to not just capital,

8c177ac7-adf6-4005-adc6-7b66ae3e5081-1
00:01:09.273 --> 00:01:12.167
but to networks of customers and data,
you know,

8c177ac7-adf6-4005-adc6-7b66ae3e5081-2
00:01:12.167 --> 00:01:16.833
the ability to really scale faster is a
key determinant of being a winner in a

8c177ac7-adf6-4005-adc6-7b66ae3e5081-3
00:01:16.833 --> 00:01:18.960
space or being number 2 or number 3.

24ed4a03-36d7-491d-9967-50ad40d8e640-0
00:01:19.440 --> 00:01:23.930
BCG really has been a difference maker in
terms of adding value to our portfolio

24ed4a03-36d7-491d-9967-50ad40d8e640-1
00:01:23.930 --> 00:01:28.586
companies, giving them the right advice,
giving them access really unique networks,

24ed4a03-36d7-491d-9967-50ad40d8e640-2
00:01:28.586 --> 00:01:31.469
and frankly,
also just really being able to provide

24ed4a03-36d7-491d-9967-50ad40d8e640-3
00:01:31.469 --> 00:01:35.904
their critical thinking on what's around
the corner and what's happening in the

24ed4a03-36d7-491d-9967-50ad40d8e640-4
00:01:35.904 --> 00:01:39.840
industries that our founders are building
transformative companies in.

a8e2f927-2c58-4862-af5f-418d464530aa-0
00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:42.920
Raj, Vikas, we love this,
the power partnerships.

00:01:43.080 --> 00:01:43.440
Thank you.
