BIP Wealth
BIP Wealth was established in 2007 by Mark Buffington and Bill Harris. The founders drew from their experience at Buckhead Investment Partners and BIP Capital to combine venture capital origination with financial planning services. The firm allocates across venture capital, private markets, and public securities. It structures exposure through direct investments and fund commitments. Confirmed activity centers on North America with emphasis on sports and wellness sectors. Portfolio construction incorporates co-investments and SPV vehicles alongside traditional advisory mandates. Client assets total an estimated $5.5 billion. The firm employs professionals in Atlanta and maintains memberships in the Financial Planning Association and Georgia Society of CPAs. In 2025 Danny Hall joined as VP of Strategic Growth. Constellation Wealth Capital took a minority stake in February 2026. BIP Wealth operates as a hybrid multi-family office that retains venture origination capabilities through its founders' ongoing roles at Panoramic Ventures. This structure allows continued access to early-stage opportunities while delivering integrated wealth planning.
