The fundraise, which launched in the fall of 2025, significantly exceeded its initial target of $2.0 billion.

Strategic Continuity in a Shifting Market
While many private equity firms have faced a “fundraising winter” over the last 24 months, BV’s successful close highlights the market’s appetite for specialized, operationally focused strategies. Fund XII will continue the firm’s 40-year legacy of partnering with founders, management teams, and families to institutionalize and scale businesses.
”The successful outcome of the Fund XII capital raise is a testament to the Firm’s consistency in strategy, team, and performance,” said Vikrant Raina, CEO and Managing Partner of BV Investment Partners. “In a market often characterized by strategy drift, we have remained steadfast in our core tenet of operationally focused investing.”

Expanding the Global Investor Footprint
Fund XII attracted a sophisticated and diverse group of Limited Partners (LPs). Beyond a high “re-up” rate from existing investors, BV successfully expanded its geographic reach, bringing in new capital from:
- Global Sovereign Wealth Funds
- Public and Corporate Pension Plans
- Foundations and Endowments
- High-profile Family Offices across East Asia and Latin America
- New cornerstone investors from Europe and North America
This global expansion is a strategic move for the Boston-based firm, which has now generated over $11.9 billion in total value across its history.
The BV Investment Thesis: Why Tech-Enabled Services?
BV Investment Partners has carved out a niche by identifying companies that provide “mission-critical” solutions. Their investment criteria typically focus on North American companies with:
- EBITDA: Generally between $7M and $30M.
- Equity Check: $65M to $175M+.
- Value Creation: Leveraging proprietary technology to improve margins, automate workflows, and expand service offerings.
Recent platform investments and realizations including the notable growth of firms in the Managed Service Provider (MSP) and specialty tax software spaces have proven that BV’s “buy and build” model remains highly effective in the mid-market.
Looking Ahead: Deployment and Leadership
With Fund XII fully capitalized, the firm is poised to capitalize on an active deal pipeline. The leadership team, led by CEO Vikrant Raina and President & COO Maggie Carter, remains one of the most stable in the industry, with senior professionals averaging over 20 years of experience.
The firm also recently highlighted the strength of its internal talent, noting the contributions of partners like Sam Axelrod, who has been instrumental in the firm’s successful MSP investment strategy.
Conclusion
The $2.465 billion close of Fund XII is more than just a successful fundraise; it is a signal that specialized, sector-focused private equity remains the gold standard for institutional investors. As BV Investment Partners begins deploying this fresh capital, the tech-enabled business services sector is likely to see a surge in transformative M&A activity.
