Successful History
Since its inception, the BDV Fund has focussed on internet-enabled companies from early to late stage situations, with Acton Capital Partners assuring continuity for the portfolio companies and their outstanding entrepreneurs. Hubert Burda Media is the sole investor in the BDV Fund, which currently has 15 companies in its portfolio and has seen a number of successful exits via a variety of routes including IPOs and successful trade sales.
The highest profile names on the list of successes include "ciao.com", the product and price review comparison website, "abebooks.com", the world’s largest used and antiquarian book site, and "holidaycheck.com", the traveller to traveller travel forum. The BDV Fund is closed to investment in new ventures but has capital in reserve for further investment in existing companies should they require it.
