Hear From Founders in Our Portfolio
BRV has played a big role in helping us sharpen our GTM strategy and bring more discipline to how we manage deals. Their support has been hands-on, practical, and easy to apply right away. They’ve also opened doors to relationships that turned into formal partnerships, which has helped us build a stronger pipeline and a more effective overall motion.
Arbol
Miriam has brought real, practical experience to our go-to-market thinking. One of her most valuable contributions was sharing how she's approached early adopter programs in edtech — a model we adapted and made our own, and it's working. We closed our first dozen 12 paying B2B customers in four months. Beyond that, she consistently challenges us to think bigger than our current focus and brings perspectives we hadn't considered. That kind of outside-in thinking is exactly what you want from an advisor.
Youthfully
The BRV team has truly lived the founder journey, and it shows! Through the studio, I felt like I had a real sounding board for fundraising and go-to-market strategy. When I needed additional resources, BRV had top-notch talent ready to go and helped set up the engagement for success.
Campground Systems
The BRV team has added tremendous value through the Growth Studio, from helping us build a winning go-to-market strategy, bring in our first sales hires, develop our market positioning, refresh our brand, develop a financial plan, and close early financing. Miriam’s industry expertise and expansive network have been an incredible asset to our team.
ClassBank
The BRV team has been instrumental in our company’s growth. Through their strategic guidance and hands-on support, we’ve significantly strengthened our approach to leadership, revenue, and overall execution. Miriam and Joel, in particular, have become trusted mentors throughout our journey.
Edbinder
Working with BRV has been an incredible experience. They are operators at heart and they truly understand the journey of founders in the space. That is extremely rare. The insights they provide have a meaningful ROI, and their ability to showcase outcomes is what sets them apart from other investors. I’m excited to continue our journey with the team.
