Our Founder
Clemente Ojinnaka
Founder / CEO
As the founder of Bridge City Equity, I started this firm to help small business owners transition their businesses with care—preserving their legacy while building for the future. Growing up in a family of entrepreneurs and launching, scaling, and exiting my first company while still in college, I’ve always been drawn to the challenge of building lasting value.
As a former Division I athlete with a degree in Finance and an MBA in progress, I’ve learned to balance high-level performance with real-world execution. My time at Bank of New York Mellon sharpened my financial and operational skill set, while successfully starting and exiting my first business venture gave me firsthand experience in building and realizing value. Together, these experiences have prepared me to lead with both discipline and insight.
At Bridge City Equity, I take a hands-on, thoughtful approach to acquisitions—offering a fast, flexible process that prioritizes relationships and long-term success.
