Brightstone Capital Partners

Brightstone Capital Partners was founded in 2014 by David Lu and Jay Kim, who structured the firm as a multi-family office rather than a single-family vehicle. The wealth origins of the families served are not publicly disclosed, but the firm describes itself as a global investment platform for multiple family offices. The firm's strategy spans direct investments and co-investments across real estate, private equity, venture capital, and infrastructure. Brightstone targets both North American and international markets, with a noted presence in real estate development in the United States and Canada, as well as venture-stage technology companies in Asia and Europe. Portfolio holdings have included real estate projects in New York and Toronto, though specific deal-level disclosures are limited. Brightstone maintains offices in New York, Toronto, Cerritos, Austin, Shanghai, Los Angeles, Burlingame, Miami, and Helsinki—a geographic footprint that reflects its cross-border mandate. The firm does not publicly disclose total team size or AUM, but its network of ten offices suggests a relatively broad operational infrastructure for a multi-family office. No recent operational events within the last 24 months have been publicly reported. A structural differentiator is Brightstone's multi-family office model combined with a global office network that spans three continents, allowing it to source and execute deals across regions that most single-family offices cannot easily reach. Its lack of public attribution of wealth origins also distinguishes it as a more opaque, privacy-focused platform.
