BVA / Brown Venture Associates

BVA uniquely combines venture capital, advisory services, team building and technology to help great people build great companies. That is the short version of BVA / Brown Venture Associates. In practice that means managing your IT, from help desk to infrastructure, as an outside partner.

The natural audience is small and mid-sized companies. They also list Consulting and FinTech, so expect those to show up in the feature set. They are a very small team, 1 to 10 people, which usually shapes who they work with. You will probably talk to the people who build it, which is great until you need 24/7 support.

BVA / Brown Venture Associates is based in Los Altos, California and around since 1992. You can read more at bva.com.
