Baird Venture Partners makes investments in early- and expansion-stage companies in the Business Services and Healthcare/Life Sciences sectors. We employ a thesis-driven approach to investing that allows us to gain insight on industry-changing trends and identify emerging, next-generation business models.
We invest in companies where our expertise, capital and broad network of resources complement management’s objectives and strategy. The core of our investment platform is as follows:
- Experienced Investment Team: Our team has been involved with nearly 60 early- and expansion-stage companies throughout their venture careers and has extensive networks in their targeted sectors from years of building companies in these industries. In addition, we have surrounded ourselves with high-powered and networked senior operations executives in our EIR and Advisory Board programs to complement our expertise and capabilities.
- Value-Added Lead Investor: We take an active role in helping build value for our portfolio companies and are attracted to opportunities where our network of resources and relationships, including the Baird platform, can make a positive impact on the long-term value of the company. We build value through active board involvement, strategic planning and market insight, introductions to human capital and industry relationships, and capital markets expertise.
- Global Private Equity Footprint: As an integral part of Baird Private Equity’s global platform, we have access to executive talent, operational resources and investment insight unmatched by other venture funds of our size.
