Bee Partners works with passionate entrepreneurs possessing Deep Market Insights. We are frequently the first outside capital into a pre-Seed company. We also invest at the Seed-stage, helping to refer reference customers, capital sources, strategic insights, leadership support and more. At Bee Partners, we’re ready and eager to slog through the various tribulations of entrepreneurship and help founders produce efficient, elegant, and lasting companies that create or meaningfully change customer experiences. Bee Partners operates upon the foundation of five firm values: practice “Integrity Investing” (we live by the Golden Rule), invest in building companies, balance intuition with data, appreciate that time is worth more than money, and go beyond yourself. Bee Partners seeks out Founders with grit, uncanny passion, resource magnetism, and empathy. We are focused on Founders who translate their uncanny passion to Deep Market Insights — in either an enabling/frontier technology that stratifies multiple industries or a vertically-focused Enterprise SaaS approach that has the opportunity to reach across multiple functional roles within that vertical (e.g. Market Networks). Put simply, we invest in companies with a unique catalyst that drives scalable growth. Because we are so early, we’re industry-agnostic. We make bold bets, and it’s never too early to start a dialogue with us. We have strong ties to University of California, Berkeley, and have invested nearly a quarter of our portfolio in Cal teams. Go Bears! We are mid-way through our second fund, our LP’s include family offices, university endowments and entrepreneurial high net worth individuals. We sit on six portfolio company boards and are observers on five.
