Career

In 1979 Burr co-founded Burr, Egan, Deleage & Co. (BEDCO), one of the earliest bi-coastal venture capital firms in the US, along with William P. Egan and Dr. Jean Deleage. Prior to founding BEDCO, Burr was a partner at early venture firm TA Associates with BEDCO co-founder William Egan.

BEDCO invested in information technology, communications, and healthcare/biotechnology companies, and at its zenith managed $700 million in assets. The principals of BEDCO separated in 1995 and 1996, leading Burr and Egan to co-found Alta Communications. Alta is one of several successors to BEDCO founded in the mid-1990s and has raised over $1.4 billion of investor commitments since inception.
