BBG Ventures

Thesis

BBG Ventures, co-founded by Susan Lyne and Nisha Dua in 2014, invests in founders who are women or otherwise diverse, guided by a proprietary "Polyculture" research thesis on overlapping cultural identities in the U.S. consumer market. Over 70% of its 100+ portfolio companies have a founder of color.

For LPs evaluating this fund

The Polyculture research is public and worth reading directly if you're evaluating the fund — it's a rare case of a manager publishing the market thesis behind its check-writing rather than keeping it proprietary.
