History
Blu Capital Partners (BCP) is an entrepreneurial firm founded in 2019, during a peak transaction year but right before COVID impacted financial markets. BCP was born out of a vision to offer high quality investment banking services to a dynamic business environment in Eastern Europe.
Note from BCP’s founder
Our founder, Tudor Mafteianu, comes from a background in global investment firms including AlpInvest Partners (The Carlyle Group), Rothschild and Intermediate Capital Group. After being involved in over 40 private investment transactions exceeding €2 billion in value, Tudor saw an untapped opportunity to offer Tier 1 investment banking advisory within Eastern Europe.
Opening doors in 2019 has given us a unique perspective on the ebb and flow of making deals, empowering us to navigate effectively, think long-term, and cultivate a deeper understanding of the opportunities and challenges that mid-market transactions face.
Setting new standards
His vision for BCP was to set a new standard in investment banking advisory services by merging the proficiency and service quality of larger firms with the personalized touch of a boutique firm. This vision was underpinned by five core principles:
A clear focus on the challenges and opportunities within mid-market transactions
A research-driven approach that leverages insights to inform strategy
A clear alignment of interests between the advisor and the client
Flexibility across capital structure, offering a one-stop solution for shareholders
An extensive network of investor relationships
