MEET THE INITIATOR · VENTURE BUILDER
Geertjan Berman.
20 years of building and scaling businesses.I bring 20 years of experience building and scaling businesses, alongside 20 years of volunteering in the Philippines. My expertise spans sales, marketing, technology and operations, supported by a broad network in Cebu.
Funding a children’s home and scholarships takes sustained time, effort and money. With BP Ventures, I want to approach that challenge through what I know best: building businesses. We invest in return for equity, and I intend to use my share of BP Ventures’ dividends and proceeds to help fund Batang Pinangga’s children’s home and scholarships.

A straightforward first stepA conversation.
01 02 03
A conversation.
A possible next chapter.
Introduce yourself.
Share what you do, your key figures, the capital you’re seeking and where you want to go. A PDF pitch deck is optional.
Explore the fit.
We assess the business, the opportunity and how an active partnership could help. If there is a potential fit, we can arrange a conversation.
Build a shared plan.
Further discussions, due diligence and mutually agreed terms come before any investment decision. Applying creates no commitment on either side.
Before we talk.
Do I need a professional pitch deck?
No. A clear introduction and honest financial information are enough to start. You may attach a PDF deck if you have one.
Must my business donate to Batang Pinangga?
No. There is no requirement for investee businesses to donate. Our ambition is to support social impact through successful investments and opportunities for young people.
Is investment guaranteed?
No. Every opportunity is reviewed individually. Any investment depends on suitability, due diligence and agreed terms.
What kind of partner are you looking for?
Owners of established, profitable Cebu MSMEs who welcome active collaboration on commercial performance, systems and sustainable growth.
