Advisory for Startups & Scale-ups | CGPH Banque d'Affaires

Where Vision Becomes Structure — And Structure Attracts Capital

Institutional-grade advisory for startups and scale-ups preparing to raise meaningful capital.

CGPH Banque d’Affaires helps high‑growth companies strengthen governance, refine their capital architecture, and prepare investor-ready materials that speak the language of global capital. We operate with the discipline of a banque d’affaires, tailored to the needs of emerging ventures.

Trusted by Global Founders.

Built for Institutional Standards.

  • Execution across 5+ jurisdictions and 3 working languages
     

  • Boutique financial architecture firm — not an incubator
    or mentor
     

  • Governance and structures compatible with VC, FO,
    lenders, and strategic exits
     

  • Transactions from €500K to €25M+ across
    multiple instruments
     

  • Institutional-grade documentation and capital modeling

Capital Exists. Structure Doesn’t. We Change That.

Most startups fail not because the idea is weak, but because the structure behind it is. CGPH designs the governance, capital logic, and investor narrative that transform a promising venture into an investable business—ready for institutional dialogue and global expansion.
