NASHVILLE, Tenn., June 17, 2015 – The Buffkin Group – a leading national retained search firm – has launched a venture fund to invest in a variety of industries across the United States.
Buffkin Ventures will target up to five investments a year in the health care, technology, digital marketing and digital media industries – markets that are core to the firm. The fund will make investments through both direct and exchanging fees for equity with selected clients. The strategy will be to partner with both private equity and venture capital funds with which the firm has relationships.
“We are excited about the possibilities this new venture fund offers to position our client companies for growth, and to further align the firm with the long term interests of the management teams and investors,” said Craig Buffkin founder and managing partner at The Buffkin Group. “Buffkin Ventures gives us the opportunity to invest in the companies we work with – and those we are aiming to work with – to cultivate sustained long-term growth.”
