HCAP Partners, a California-based private equity firm and impact investor, promoted Bhairvee Shavdia to principal.
During her tenure at HCAP Partners, Shavdia has made contributions to the team as both an investment and impact professional. She has been instrumental in leading the construction and implementation of HCAP Partners’ impact investing methodology and framework around quality job creation, the Gainful Jobs Approach. In her new role, she will continue leading growth efforts surrounding impact investing measurement and reporting in addition to continuing her investment team responsibilities of deal structuring, underwriting and monitoring.
“Bhairvee’s promotion reflects her leadership in building and strengthening our impact platform, the Gainful Jobs Approach, alongside her demonstrated investment acumen, both of which have played an important role in our firm’s growth. We are confident that she will continue to provide value to both our investors and portfolio companies and look forward to her continued contributions,” Tim Bubnack, managing partner at HCAP Partners, said.
Shavdia joined HCAP Partners in 2015 and has been a contributor to the firm’s continued recognition in the impact investing field, including the firm’s selection as an ImpactAssets 50 fund for seven consecutive years. She has served as a job quality fellow with Aspen Institute’s Economic Opportunities Program and earlier this year joined the board of the San Diego Impact Investors Network.
Prior to joining HCAP Partners, Shavdia was with San Diego State University’s Zahn Innovation Center, where she created and led the university’s incubator platform for social enterprise. Shavdia joined the Zahn Innovation Center from H.I.G. Capital, where she was a founding member of the firm’s London office and participated in the origination, investment analysis and due diligence of private equity and distressed debt transactions.
HCAP Partners was founded in 2000 and is a provider of mezzanine debt and private equity for underserved, lower-middle market companies throughout California and the western United States.
