CAN YOU GET THIS?
YOUR REAL ODDS
The firm is not open to cold outreach right now, so odds of getting in without a warm introduction are effectively zero.
Their portfolio appears small and selective, featuring individual highlighted companies. No public data on deal volume or acceptance rate is available.
WHAT IT TAKES
Check SSBCI intake form on their site for any open programs — 15 minutes
Find a warm introduction through their network or portfolio founders — 1-4 weeks
Prepare a seed-stage pitch deck emphasizing tech differentiation — 1-2 weeks
WORTH KNOWING
BVG has an active SSBCI intake form listed on their site — this may be a current entry point even while general pitches are closed. Check that form directly before assuming there's no path in.
