Benyamin | Dean was founded by Ad van der Sluijs and Ronald van Tilburg in 2017. Since then, B|D has been building and backing companies with the ambition to perform at the highest level and leave the world better than they found it. We are hands on venture builders, not passive investors. We work side by side with founders and teams to shape strategy, strengthen leadership, and turn vision into disciplined execution. We bring capital, experience, network and daily involvement, always with respect for the people behind the business. Across Europe and the US, we help build ventures from early idea to international scale. Our focus is on companies that combine strong scalable fundamentals with measurable positive impact on people, planet and long term value creation. We believe the best businesses do more than grow. They add, not extract. They create performance with purpose, and they do so in a way that strengthens current human wellbeing and future generations along the way.
