Long horizons
We measure success in decades, not quarters. Compounding rewards patience and we run our companies as if we will own them forever.
A private holding company
Building enduring technology businesses.

01 — Philosophy
Three families. One conviction.
Bianchi & Wood was formed to consolidate the technology ventures of Chiara, Nico and James Wood under a single roof — a family office in the form of a holding company.
Owner-operators
Every company we hold is led by founders we trust. We back them with capital, infrastructure and quiet support — never noise.
Real economy
Software is a tool, not the product. We build platforms that move money, food and labour for real people in real markets.
02 — Portfolio
Three companies, each independent, each enduring.
Each company is operated independently by its founders. Bianchi & Wood provides the capital, infrastructure and time.
