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 grew up in a family of entrepreneurs, inspired by my uncle who built Yash Technologies from the ground up, I learned early that businesses endure because owners show up - for customers, employees, and the work. That shaped how I think about business: it's both a responsibility and a long game. 

After earning my engineering degrees from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, I spent nearly a decade at Turner Construction, moving from the job site to managing, people, risk, and financial performance across hundreds of major projects, including the Obama Presidential Center. From there, I joined Procore Technologies, helping large construction firms modernize how they manage cost and performance. I later earned my MBA from UChicago Booth, focusing on entrepreneurship and finance.

I started YBridge Capital to find one great business to own and operate for the long term. I’m backed by a small group of entrepreneurial investors who share that same mindset. The goal is simple: keep what’s working, take care of the people who make it run, and build on a strong foundation for years to come.
