Globally Focused Family Office Deploys Meaningful Capital in Strong Fund Managers and Partners Closely as an Active Co-Investor
DALLAS, Nov. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Beyond Capital Ventures (BCV) is pleased to announce that its venture capital fund, launched in 2021, has received a new investment of $1M from an important strategic partner: Shah Capital Partners (SCP).
