PROXY STATEMENT OF BULLDOG INVESTORS, LLC IN OPPOSITION TO THE SOLICITATION
BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF BDCA VENTURE, INC. FOR THE 2015 ANNUAL MEETING
OF SHAREHOLDERS

Bulldog Investors, LLC ("Bulldog Investors") is sending this proxy statement
and the enclosed GREEN proxy card to shareholders of BDCA Venture, Inc.
(the "Fund") of record as of May 13, 2015. We are soliciting a proxy to vote
your shares at the 2015 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the "Meeting") which
is scheduled for July 9, 2015. Please refer to the Fund's proxy soliciting
material for additional information concerning the Meeting and the matters
to be considered by shareholders. This proxy statement and the enclosed
GREEN proxy card are first being sent to shareholders on or about
June 12, 2015.

INTRODUCTION

The Board of Directors has determined to present one matter to be voted upon
at the Meeting: the election of four directors. A stockholder affiliated
with us has notified management that it intends to nominate three directors
at the Meeting and to submit two proposals: (i) a non-binding proposal that
the Board consider adopting a plan to maximize shareholder value within a
reasonable period of time, and (2) a binding proposal to terminate the
Fund's investment advisory agreement with BDCA Adviser, LLC ("BDCA Adviser").
There is a dispute between the Fund's management and us as to whether we are
entitled to present our nominations and both proposals at the Meeting.We have
filed a lawsuit (available at http://www.bulldoginvestorsproxymaterials.com)
in Maryland state court for, among other things, a declaration that our
nominees and proposals may be presented at the Meeting. We are soliciting a
proxy to vote your shares FOR the election of our nominees as directors and
FOR the two stockholder proposals. We intend to deliver a proxy statement
and form of proxy to all holders of the Fund's voting shares. Unless we
prevail in our lawsuit, the green proxy card may only be counted toward a
quorum.

We are soliciting a proxy to vote your shares FOR the election of the
nominees named below and FOR the shareholder proposals.

REASONS FOR THE SOLICITATION

As of December 31, 2014, the shares of the Fund were trading at a discount
of 28% below their net asset value ("NAV"). We believe shareholders should
terminate the Fund's investment advisory agreement to reduce expenses and
have an opportunity to realize a price much closer to NAV for their shares.
Toward those ends, we are seeking to present the aforementioned proposals
and to elect directors who are committed to maximizing shareholder value.

HOW PROXIES WILL BE VOTED

If you complete and return a GREEN proxy card to us, and unless you direct
otherwise, your shares will be voted FOR the election of the nominees named
below and FOR the shareholder proposals. In addition, you will be granting
the proxy holders discretionary authority to vote on any other matters that
may come before the Meeting.

VOTING REQUIREMENTS

A quorum for the transaction of business by the shareholders at the Meeting
is a majority of the shares outstanding on the record date and entitled to
vote. The election of a director requires the affirmative vote of a
plurality of the votes cast. Thus, the four nominees receiving the greatest
number of votes will be elected. The proposal that the Board consider
adopting a plan to maximize shareholder value within a reasonable period of
time will be approved if approved by a majority of the votes cast. The
proposal to terminate the investment advisory agreement will be approved if
the holders of (i) 67% of the shares present or (ii) 50% of the outstanding
shares vote for it. An abstention or a broker non-vote is not a vote cast
and thus will have no effect on the election of directors or whether the
proposal that the Board consider adopting a plan to maximize shareholder
value is approved. An abstention or a broker non-vote on the termination
proposal will have the same effect as a vote against it. However, since
this is a contested solicitation, we do not expect any broker non-votes.

REVOCATION OF PROXIES

You may revoke your proxy prior to its exercise by: (i) delivering a written
revocation to us; (ii) executing and delivering a later dated proxy to the
inspector of election; or (iii) voting in person at the Meeting. Attendance
at the Meeting will not by itself revoke a proxy. There is no limit on the
number of times you may revoke your proxy and only your most recent proxy
will be counted.

PROPOSAL 1: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The Board is comprised of four directors. The Board is nominating four
persons and our affiliate intends to nominate the three persons named
below. If our nominees are elected, the fourth director elected will be
the nominee of the Board that receives the most votes. Each of our
nominees has consented to being named in this proxy statement and to
serve as a director if elected. None of our nominees is an interested
person of the Fund and none owns any shares of the Fund. There are no
arrangements or understandings between Bulldog Investors or any of
its affiliates and any nominee in connection with the nominations.
Please refer to the Fund's proxy soliciting material for additional
information concerning the election of directors.

Gerald Hellerman (born 1937); 5431 NW 21st Avenue, Boca Raton, FL 33496 -
Mr. Hellerman owned and served as Managing Director of Hellerman Associates,
a financial and corporate consulting firm, from 1993 to 2013. Mr. Hellerman
is a director and chairman of the audit committee of Imperial Holdings,
a director and chairman of the Audit Committee of MVC Capital, a director,
chief compliance officer of the Mexico Equity and Income Fund and Special
Opportunities Fund, Inc., and a director for Ironsides Partners Opportunity

as a branch chief with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission over a
ten-year period, as Special Financial Advisor to the U.S. Senate Subcommittee
on Antitrust and Monopoly for four years, and as the Chief Financial Analyst
of the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice for 17 years.

Andrew Dakos (born 1966); Park 80 West, Plaza Two, 250 Pehle Ave., Suite 708,
Saddle Brook, NJ 07663 -- Mr. Dakos is a member of Bulldog Investors, LLC,
the investment adviser of Special Opportunities Fund, Inc. and the investment
partnerships comprising the Bulldog Investors group of private funds. He also
is a manager of Kimball & Winthrop, LLC, the managing general partner of
Bulldog Investors General Partnership, since 2012.  From 2001-2012, Mr. Dakos
was a member of the general partners of several private funds in the Bulldog
Investors group of private funds and in 2012 became a member of Bulldog

Richard Cohen (born 1954); Lowey Dannenberg Cohen & Hart, P.C., One North

Mr. Cohen has been employed as a lawyer by Lowey Dannenberg Cohen & Hart,

companies, including closed-end funds. He has been a Director of Lowey
Dannenberg since 2005, served as its President from 2008-2014 and became

Unless instructions to the contrary are given, your proxy will be voted in
favor of each of the aforementioned nominees.

PROPOSAL 2: THE SHAREHOLDERS REQUEST THAT THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS CONSIDER
ADOPTING A PLAN TO MAXIMIZE SHAREHOLDER VALUE WITHIN A REASONABLE PERIOD
OF TIME.

Adoption of this non-binding proposal will direct the Board to consider
adopting a plan to maximize shareholder value within a reasonable period
of time. However, the board has the sole power to determine whether to adopt
such a plan and to determine its attributes.

Unless instructions to the contrary are given, your proxy will be voted in
favor of this proposal.

PROPOSAL 3: THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE FUND AND BDCA
ADVISER SHALL BE TERMINATED.

The Investment Company Act of 1940 requires that stockholders be able to
vote to terminate a fund's investment advisory agreement "at any time."
The Fund's advisory agreement provides for BDCA Adviser to receive a per
annum base fee of 2% of The Fund's gross assets plus an incentive fee of 20%
of its net realized capital gains.  In order to reduce the Fund's costs and
maximize shareholder value within a reasonable period of time, we believe
the investment advisory agreement should be terminated and the Fund should
be managed internally under the Board's supervision.

Unless instructions to the contrary are given, your proxy will be voted
in favor of this proposal.

THE SOLICITATION

We intend to solicit proxies by mail, and may utilize other means, e.g.,
telephone or the internet. Our proxy materials are available at:
www.bulldoginvestorsproxymaterials.com. Persons affiliated with or employed
by us may assist us in the solicitation of proxies. Banks, brokerage houses
and other securities intermediaries will be requested to forward this proxy
statement and the enclosed GREEN proxy card to the beneficial owners for whom
they hold shares of record. We will reimburse these organizations for their
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.

Initially, we and our clients will bear all of the expenses related to this
proxy solicitation. Because we believe that all shareholders will benefit
from this solicitation, we intend to seek, subject to any applicable
regulatory requirements, reimbursement of our expenses from the Fund.
Shareholders will not be asked to vote on the reimbursement of these
expenses, which we estimate will total $100,000.

PARTICIPANTS

Bulldog Investors, 250 Pehle Avenue, Suite 708, Saddle Brook, NJ 07663, is
the soliciting stockholder and as of June 10, 2015 beneficially owns
1,097,407 shares on behalf of clients which were purchased at various
times beginning on September 19, 2014. No "participant" has any direct or
indirect arrangement or understanding with any person with respect to any
securities of the Fund or with respect to future employment by the Fund or
any of its affiliates or to any future transactions to which the Fund or
any of its affiliates will or may be a party. A "participant," as defined
by the SEC, includes Bulldog Investors, the nominees designated above, and
each client advised by Bulldog Investors. The SEC's definition of a
"participant" may be misleading because it suggests that a "participant"
has a greater role in a solicitation than may be the case.
