Last week, one of our General Partners Jason Caplain joined a panel at CapitalCapital 2025 in DC to talk about "The State DC Tech - A View of Opportunities from Outside The Beltway." At BCVP, we’ve long believed that great companies can be built anywhere and we’ve been lucky to back many standout founders in Virginia, Maryland and DC. The region’s blend of technical talent, mission-driven entrepreneurs, and growing capital base continues to make it one of the most compelling markets in the country. Thanks to Doug Anderson for putting together a thoughtful and founder-focused event. We're excited to keep building relationships across the DMV. #venturecapital #startups #DMVtech #CapitalCapital2025 Timothy, Gregory, Gregg, John, Zvi, Darrin, Andre, Sean, Mike, Amena, Baron

We're excited to back the team at Tiga AI. This investment reflects our ongoing commitment to supporting exceptional founders. Welcome to the BCVP family, Tiga!
🚀 We’re thrilled to announce our partnership with Andre, Mike, and Michael by leading a $2M pre-seed round in Tiga AI Tiga is an AI agent platform that’s reimagining the way sales teams prospect—automating account research, identifying custom buying signals, and triggering personalized outreach. It’s modern, scalable, and built to drive real results. The company is based in Reston, Virginia, and we’ve had the privilege of knowing this team across multiple companies over the years. We're also proud to be investing alongside Armory Square Ventures, Cascade Seed Fund, and Virginia Venture Partners. Curious about using Tiga? Let me know—we’d be happy to make an intro (and yes, there’s a special BCVP discount just for our network). As we continue investing from Fund IV, we’d love your help in meeting exceptional founders building in categories aligned with our focus.
