Our history

Hans Bloemen and Ruben Baijens founded ECFG in 2007 under the name Eindhoven Corporate Finance Group. Their ambition was to help promising entrepreneurs grow with knowledge, capital and the right contacts.

We have since helped hundreds of companies to accelerate their growth. Over that time, we have also grown ourselves. With a unique combination of corporate finance, venture capital and investment services, we have established a strong position in the Brainport region and far beyond. We are also proud of our investment funds. Our third fund, launched in 2023, has a size of €40 million and is in full swing.

Since 2021, ECFG has been located on the Vestdijk, in the center of Eindhoven.
