B. RILEY VENTURE CAPITAL, LLC

Thesis

B. Riley Venture Capital, established in 2020 as the corporate venture arm of B. Riley Financial, Inc., strategically invests in late-stage private growth companies with a clear path to public markets. The firm focuses on companies with substantial annual revenue, typically between $20 million and $200 million, and often participates in the final funding round before an IPO, with an investment horizon of two to three years. While primarily US-focused due to its parent company's operations, international expansion is possible. Investments are made off-balance sheet and syndicated across B. Riley's client base. The firm's strategy is supported by the extensive investment banking, capital markets, and advisory services of its parent company, B. Riley Financial, offering unique syndication opportunities. Specific AUM is not disclosed, but the parent company has significant financial resources. Investments are substantial, likely in the millions of dollars, aligning with their strategy of supporting companies nearing public markets. Todd D. Sims leads the venture capital initiative.
