🔥 BERNIE'S HOT TAKE

Bowery is the definition of a solid, no-frills B2B fund that won't waste your time with buzzword bingo. They actually understand enterprise software economics and won't fund your vanity metrics. The Goldman pedigree shows - they're financial modeling hawks who will grill you on LTV/CAC until you cry, but they also have real connections in financial services that can open doors. They're not chasing the shiniest AI trend of the week, which is either refreshing or limiting depending on what you're building. Post-investment, they're genuinely helpful on go-to-market and scaling, but don't expect them to hold your hand through existential product pivots.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
  • Best for: B2B SaaS founders who have their unit economics dialed in
  • Watch out for: They're not interested in moonshot bets or unproven business models
  • Known for: Strong financial services connections and practical scaling advice
Investment Thesis

Bowery Capital focuses on early-stage B2B SaaS companies, particularly in fintech, insurtech, and enterprise software. They emphasize backing capital-efficient businesses with strong unit economics and clear paths to scalability.

Stage & Sector Focus

Series A and B focused, occasionally seed. Heavy concentration in financial services software, insurance tech, and enterprise SaaS. Portfolio skews toward traditional B2B verticals rather than cutting-edge tech.
