Strategic. Independent. Entrepreneurial.

Founded as the operational arm of a private investment family, BDCG serves as both a family office and a boutique advisory firm.

Our work is defined by discretion, alignment of interests, and long-term thinking.
We act on behalf of the family’s private wealth and selectively support trusted partners and portfolio companies in expanding their commercial footprint.

Beyond deploying our own capital, we provide hands-on business development support to our portfolio companies and offer selected services to external partners and clients.
This includes access to our network, strategic positioning, investor readiness, and international expansion support.

As part of our ecosystem, CIS – The Capital & Innovation Society, a private members club founded and operated by BDCG, brings together high-calibre investors, founders, and thought leaders.
Through curated gatherings – from intimate investor dinners to global summits – CIS fosters dialogue, trust, and strategic deal flow across borders.

Additionally, BDCG is co-founder and organizer of the annual International Wealth Forum (IWF), one of Europe’s emerging platforms for alternative investments, private wealth, and family office collaboration.
