How Abbove figured out how to show families their wealth

When the founders of Belgian digital disruptor Abbove held a meeting with 120 wealthy families, all had the same tale of woe, unable to grasp the complexity of their money and getting little help from their private bankers. Abbove set out to create a platform to let them do just that.

There was no agenda to speak of. The only hunch shared by the three organizers, Guillaume Desclée, Guillaume de Monie and Gaëtane Meurant, was that those invited to the hired office space that day – a mix of old friends, friends of friends and strangers drawn to the meeting by word of mouth – felt disengaged from the process of wealth management.
