Bay Street Capital Holdings

Bay Street Capital Holdings is an SEC-registered, Black-owned independent investment advisory and wealth management firm headquartered in Palo Alto, CA. The firm invests "through the lens of history," taking a stringent, rule-based approach overweight in renewable energy, technology, and hospitality. Its core thesis holds that diverse and emerging fund managers are systematically underallocated to despite strong performance, and Bay Street acts as a trusted advisor recommending top-quartile diverse managers to institutional and individual clients. On the direct investment side, Bay Street has built a hospitality-focused portfolio anchored by Resthaven Properties—a portfolio of members-only boutique hotels targeting the conscious consumer—and proptech assets such as the Unified influencer-travel app. The firm targets underpenetrated hospitality markets where Black and minority travelers spend significant dollars but where minority-owned properties capture less than 1% of that spend, seeking risk-adjusted returns while driving measurable social impact.
