Since 1976, Bay Partners has partnered with entrepreneurs in starting and growing over 200 information technology and health care businesses. From just an idea scribbled on a napkin to a first product with early revenue - they have seen it all. The school of hard knocks has given them a deep respect for the entrepreneurial process.
