As the innovation landscape rapidly enters a new technological era, further 
ignited by the COVID-19 pandemic, BGV will use this new capital to invest in 
startups at the intersection of global innovation and Enterprise 4.0. BGV 
brings deep operational expertise to its portfolio companies, and actively 
works with CEOs to build value in the companies they create while providing the 
necessary capital to scale globally. 

BGV's immigrant origins have enabled the firm to relate to and connect with the 
challenges of being an immigrant founder. The firm's cross-border investment 
strategy allows BGV to source the most promising, capital-efficient startups 
originating in innovation hubs outside of Silicon Valley and help them scale in 
the U.S. Currently, 60% of BGV's portfolio companies were founded outside of 
Silicon Valley across France, Israel, India and other parts of Western Europe.

"For BGV, if you are a talented entrepreneur, it doesn't matter where you're 
from. What matters is that your idea and your company are innovative, unique, 
and transformative across global markets," said Eric Benhamou, Founder and 
General Partner at BGV. "We're grateful to the many new global investors who 
placed their trust and capital in us. We are proud to close this fourth fund 
and will continue our work helping the next generation of cross-border 
entrepreneurs in their company building journey."

With this fourth fund, BGV will focus exclusively on the Enterprise 4.0 domain. 
Enterprise 4.0 describes AI-first B2B startups that apply deep tech to novel 
data sets coupled with workflow automation.  Most importantly these startups do 
so without introducing unintended race, gender or age bias while addressing 
data privacy and security concerns and providing transparency. The BGV team has 
thought deeply about the importance of ethical AI as it relates to B2B 
implementations and recently established a diverse community of entrepreneurs 
and industry executives to democratize the evolution and growth of Ethical AI 
Governance. This new fund will allocate capital towards companies implementing 
cutting-edge AI solutions in ways that are ethical and serve to deliver strong 
returns while improving the world around them. 

Often holding seats on the boards of its portfolio companies, BGV has a 
hands-on, long-term approach to investments. The VC firm helps startups 
accelerate market validation and de-risk execution in order to scale and 
compete on a global playing field, both within and outside of the US.  

Totango, a poster child BGV portfolio company founded in Israel recently closed 
a $100M growth investment on the heels of a record 2020 breakout year. Totango 
experiences significant growth as digital transformation continues to 
accelerate, driving many businesses to invest massively in customer success. 
Their success was fueled by a compelling product-led growth sales motion in the 
US coupled with an award-winning AI-powered product platform.
