Seven startups have joined the Bull City Venture Partners’ portfolio since it closed its first $26 million fund 18 months ago.

And while four of them are based in the Triangle (and two of those spawned from deals in a prior fund), partners Jason Caplain and David Jones have spent a lot of time in Washington D.C. too.

BCVP got into Full Measure Education’s $5.5 Million Series B round in April because of a pair of longstanding relationships. …
