Bowery Capital Reviews

Pros

The leadership is fantastic. Lots of hands on experience. Great network. They really bring you on the team from day 1 and the work is purposeful.

Cons

Non that come to mind.

Pros

- Bowery was a great forum for learning and a stepping stone for my career in growth-stage SaaS Marketing. - Mike & Nic always listened to and heard my opinions and suggestions—acting on them when appropriate. - The team is experts in the early-stage B2B SaaS space and I was always a fan of how detailed they (we) were in evaluating potential investments. - Generally positive work environment with an emphasis on working...

Cons

- Was with the team for just under 4 years from AOLV to Bowery so it wasn't all smooth sailing, but I can honestly say it was an overall incredible work experience. Wouldn't trade my time at Bowery for anything else.

Advice to Management

I would love to see more alumni events.

Pros

- Bowery has emerged as an elite early stage firm in NY and the firm is often a 'first call' for entrepreneurs on both coasts - Partners give tons of responsibility to junior team - Firm adds real value to portfolio companies, not passive investors - Great launchpad for other VC roles or exec role at a startup

Cons

If you like consumer focused tech or later stage investing like growth equity then BC isn't for you

Pros

- For such a young firm, Bowery has clearly established itself as one of the go-to players in the enterprise tech space - Mike & Nic's focused vision on their specific space and goal to instill certain values in Bowery has clearly paid off - The team is wicked smart, highly efficient, and very well connected. You're able to speak with some of the brightest minds available in their respective space and are able to...

Cons

None. Overly positive experience.

Advice to Management

- More BC alumni, greater community, and team events on both coasts would really enrich an already great network.

Pros

Working at Bowery was a formative opportunity to learn alongside a dedicated, thoughtful and ambitious team building a premier venture capital brand. My time at Bowery was my first foray into venture capital and I owe a great deal to Mike and the team for enabling me to build my career in this industry. Mike literally taught me the basics of being a venture capitalist. He set an example for how to chart a compelling firm...

Cons

None to list. It was a very positive experience.

Pros

- Well developed and interesting investment focus around the B2B space - Excellent expertise on the team, and a terrific environment for any junior VC to fortify their understanding of the space - Open investment process where everyone involved worked together (regardless of seniority) to get to the best possible outcome. Even while I was new here, I always felt encouraged to voice my opinion on any task at hand. Creative...

Cons

-Couldn't have asked for more out of my time with these guys. It was a great experience.

Pros

-- Raising $100M in your first two funds is no mean feat; Mike, Nic and the team have gotten there by being some of the most discerning, highest-integrity, best-connected people in enterprise software. -- Only the most jaded of employees could escape feeling constantly floored by the high-caliber track records of entrepreneurs we worked with and learned from. -- There's a lot of trust, and many learning opportunities...

Cons

-- This isn't a role where you wait for work to show up in your inbox. As with most venture roles, it's important to be a self-starter in pursuing the experiences that you want.

Pros

Bowery Capital is an awesome place to work. Aside from their incredible portfolio, the team is extremely smart and from the top down are always willing to share their knowledge with those interested in the learning and listening. They are also happy to make introductions to into their networks and trust employees with lots of responsibility. Overall, working with Bowery couldn't have been a better experience.

Cons

None - keep doing what you're doing!
