Investor in New York, New York

## About Bienville Capital

Bienville is a multi-strategy investment firm offering Asset Management and Advisory Services across both public and private markets, built on the premise that "the world doesn't need another investment firm — it needs great ideas." Founded in 2008 and headquartered in New York City, the firm is led by Co-Founders Cullen Thompson (CIO), Billy Stimpson (CEO), and Ralph Reynolds (Chairman).

The firm operates through several complementary arms: public markets strategies for institutional and family office clients; a private markets arm backing entrepreneurs, venture capital, and private equity funds from seed stage through IPO; and an incubation partnership with Fractal that creates and seeds vertical SaaS companies.

Bienville also supports specialist managers directly, including its Informatic Capital strategy, launched in partnership with Colter Van Domelen, which invests in emerging, market-leading technology companies; separately, the firm provides advisory services to a select group of entrepreneurs and family offices leveraging its broader network.

The firm employs roughly 26 people and manages approximately $5 billion in assets, with about 20% of that AUM representing the firm's own internal capital invested alongside clients.

Its investment approach emphasizes contrarian, idea-first thinking — challenging assumptions, searching broadly across geographies and asset classes, and positioning early through its network before consensus catches up.
