I am here with Raj and Vikas.
So we're talking about partnerships, and B Capital and BCG have this amazing
partnership together.
So I'm curious from each of your perspectives, how do you see it?
Vikas, I'll start with you.
What I tell entrepreneurs and founders is that when they start working with B
Capital, not only do they get the excellent
ecosystem and network that B Capital has built,
but they also inherit very importantly, the global capabilities and network of
BCG.
So if you think about it from a founders perspective,
the value proposition that the partnership offers is actually just
unparalleled in terms of expertise, in terms of global range and scope,
and in terms of functional depth.
How do you see it, Raj?
I think the partnership with BCG has really been at the core of what B Capital
stands for.
So we built B Capital as an investment firm that was built by founders for other
founders.
And as a former founder myself, what I found was that there was a lot of
great venture capital firms out there, but we wanted a VC firm that truly added
value, that helped us grow and scale.
And especially in this current world where access to not just capital,
but to networks of customers and data, you know,
the ability to really scale faster is a key determinant of being a winner in a
space or being number 2 or number 3.
BCG really has been a difference maker in terms of adding value to our portfolio
companies, giving them the right advice, giving them access really unique networks,
and frankly, also just really being able to provide
their critical thinking on what's around the corner and what's happening in the
industries that our founders are building transformative companies in.
Raj, Vikas, we love this, the power partnerships.
Thank you.
