About BG Group

We are a venture & brand studio building products and companies with couture-level attention to detail — from strategy and identity to engineering and go‑to‑market.

Our Story

BG Group started as the umbrella behind JobShort — and evolved into a studio for creating, branding and scaling ventures with precision.

We combine brand systems, product engineering, and capital strategy. The result: clear positioning, beautiful execution, and fast iteration from idea to market.

Snapshot

  • Focus: Brand systems, product, venture strategy
  • DNA: Minimal, timeless, performance‑oriented
  • Model: Studio + holding for our own ventures

For Startups

We help early teams with branding, naming, product positioning, pitch decks and launch.

We know budgets are tight at the start. Where it makes sense, we can structure part of our work as equity-based compensation so we’re aligned on outcomes and growth.

Principles

Couture Precision

Everything we ship — from a monogram to a mobile build — meets a luxury & premium bar for clarity and feel.

Useful > Loud

We design for outcomes: faster comprehension, faster adoption, faster deals. And most importantly, no buzz.

Iterate, deliver fast

Ship, learn, refine. We prefer momentum to perfectionism — but never compromise taste.

What We Do

Brand Systems

Naming, identity, typographic systems, monograms, design language, decks.

Product & Engineering

Web, App, or whatever is needed. From prototype to launch.

Venture Strategy

Positioning, pricing, fundraising materials, getting the money in.
