About Us

Who We Are

YBridge Capital is a entrepreneur led company focused on buying and running one great business for the long term. I work with owners who care about their people and reputation. The goal is simple: keep what makes the company strong and build on it with steady leadership and sound decisions. This isn't private equity. I'm not chasing deals or flipping companies. I'm looking for one business to own, run, and grow.

About the Founder

Meet Yash Baheti

I founded YBridge Capital to acquire and personally operate one great business for the long term. I plan to step in as the owner, lead day to day, and build on what already works.

I spent nearly a decade at Turner Construction, starting close to the field and moving into finance and operations roles focused on managing people, budgets, and risk, keeping projects on time and profitable. I later served as the financial manager for the Obama Presidential Center build, accountable for the project’s financial performance. From there, I worked directly with contractors at Procore, helping them improve cost control, billing, and day to day operations. I also earned my MBA from UChicago Booth with a focus on entrepreneurship.

My goal is simple: take care of your people, protect your legacy, and grow the business responsibly over time.
