Brown Venture Associates, BVA, was founded by Jerry Brown ,a former Operating Executive/Officer,--- Texas Instruments/IBM .The concept was to combine C-level recruiting with the capability to invest. If we performed well, BVA might be allowed to invest---, becoming a partner in the on going growth/success of our clients. Modeled like Venture Funds, we use Industry Advisors to expand our reach,provide domain expertise, give us even more credibility and help us find and land the very best candidates.

So how has this worked out?-----over the years Brown Ventures has invested in over 50 companies with 20+ liquidity events.

In addition we manage an incubator (BVAIncubator). This greatly expands our network as we do due diligence, staff these companies and help get them funded. To our knowledge this model is unique in our industry.

BVA has completed over 200 searches in the past twenty years. With "real General Management experience", diverse backgrounds, huge rolodex, advisors’ expertise, we can manage the complexity inherent in the more difficult searches.  Some describe these searches as complex, lots of moving parts, tricky, challenging - This is our specialty.

What do these searches have in common? The common denominator is they tend to be leading edge technology, often hard to explain. They are very time consuming searches and our Operating/investing experience has proven to be a significant advantage.

Why do we focus on these searches? We do it for the opportunity to invest in our clients--see them grow and maintain long term relationships. Over the years our investments have yielded multiples of our consulting fees.We are uniquely aligned with our Clients interests.

This is why we do what we do so well!
