Through its exclusive partnership with BCG, B Capital connects entrepreneurs and corporates to explore mutually-beneficial relationships that apply cutting-edge technologies at scale.
The Ropes & Gray team advising on the Fund was co-led by the late Raj Marphatia and asset management partner Arthur Andersen III, and included tax partner Adam Greenwood, asset management counsel Alyssa Horton, asset management associate Kevin Cegan, and tax associates Tom Spera and Chris Shim.
