At the heart of our thesis is antifragility. We drive antifragility in each of our engagements, portfolio companies, and partnership models. It is the backbone of our scalability framework and is the pinnacle of the mentality needed to accelerate innovation-driven companies.
In balancing our practice of innovation and management within growth roadmaps, our firm is intrinsically and fully fundamentals-driven. We build the foundation of each growth opportunity with fundamentals across finance, operations, and technology across each scalability roadmap.
As responsible investors and business entrepreneurs, we are duly focused on operational excellence and accountable leadership. Through our emphasis and critical position in scalable operations, we are able to manage risk for every company when executing against scalable roadmaps.
BoCG Ventures is a highly analytical, strategic, and a technology-focused team of experts - driven by a singular vision of pushing the boundaries of innovation through antifragility.

“I ventured into cryptocurrencies and blockchain without a fully formulated idea or plan. After subscribing to the BoCG Venture Operating Model, I not only have more than both an idea and plan but also, I am on my way to scaling a corporation I never thought I’d lead with trustworthy business partners and the right strategic partners. Technology entrepreneurship is a complex journey that necessitates forthright and experienced partners available at every step and that’s the level of assurance I have with BoCG Ventures.”
“Lyon possesses superior analytical and problem-solving skills that enable him to be a decisive leader in the field or in the boardroom alike. His strategic planning skills stem from an innate ability to see at least three steps in front of a decision - a proven thought leader and exceptional executive you want to go to war alongside.”
“In her capacity, Chris works directly with founders, boards, and investors while also listening to operating teams. I found her to be thoughtful in understanding multidisciplinary teams in order to be constructive in her scalability plans. Chris’ technical product-engineering leadership combined with her VC/PE expertise was mission-critical to our growth needs and instrumental to the M&A event to Farfetch (FTCH). In particular, she paralleled our financial and engineering roadmaps to meet business needs across markets in the US, Europe, and Asia and across internal operating systems. E-comm, ERP, payments, CS, and mobile were only a few of the systems she influenced to meet stakeholder demands across the company, investors, and customer demands. If your company is seeking scalable growth or ROI and strong execution, Chris is a sure bet.”
