About Bison Venture Partners

Our Mission

At Bison Venture Partners (BVP), we’re more than a management consulting firm; we’re a vehicle for change. Our mission is to forge strong partnerships with small businesses, technology startups, and investment firms, focusing on building pathways to wealth and fostering sustainable community impact. Our team is dedicated to advising on profitable growth strategies, enhancing investment readiness, and ensuring meaningful access to capital. BVP’s goal is to be at the forefront of advocating for equitable change in an increasingly diverse world.

Disrupting America’s Trillion Dollar Blind Spot

In a groundbreaking report by Morgan Stanley, it was highlighted that "Investors report capitalizing multicultural and women-owned businesses at 80% less than businesses overall." This stark underinvestment not only hampers the growth of promising businesses but also represents a missed opportunity of a staggering $4.4 trillion. At Bison Venture Partners, we recognize this gap as not just a challenge, but an immense opportunity for outsized returns.

Our Collaborative Framework

We believe in disrupting the status quo to create a more equitable economy. An economy where multicultural entrepreneurs are given the same opportunities as our counterparts will create a dynamic and resilient economy for everyone. Our strategy revolves around three core pillars:

  1. Create: We are committed to fostering the birth of new businesses, generating high-quality jobs, and opening avenues for ownership opportunities in our community.

  2. Scale: We focus on facilitating access to capital, promoting technology adoption, and building strategic partnerships that empower businesses to reach their full potential.

  3. Invest: We actively engage in community rounds, angel syndicates, and venture capital deals, with a keen focus on inclusive investment practices.

Our Vision for the Future

At Bison Venture Partners, our vision is clear: to be a leading force in building a more equitable and diverse economic landscape. We’re committed to not just participating in the market, but transforming it. By working closely with our partners and stakeholders, we aim to pave the way for a future where every entrepreneur, regardless of their background, has the opportunity to thrive.

Over the next decade, we aim to achieve the following goals:

  • Sourcing $100 Million to Black-Owned Businesses

  • Supporting 1,000 Women Entrepreneurs

  • Educating 10,000 New Angel Investors

  • Creating 1,000 New Jobs
