consumers, workers and employers. Founded in 2014, BBG Ventures has
invested in 99 companies across multiple industries, supporting
founders with both financial and operating support.

Susan Lyne and Nisha Dua, who are focused on the next generation of
breakout companies making large-scale behavior change possible by
improving access, enhancing affordability or reducing friction in
the consumer experience,” said Michal Katz, Head of Investment and
Corporate Banking, Mizuho Americas.
With this transaction, Mizuho Americas will become a limited
partner within the fund and will have the opportunity to work with
BBG Ventures’ exceptional leadership team and founder

and innovative early-stage companies that other investors may
overlook,” said Jerry Rizzieri, President & CEO, Mizuho
