Bogen & Partner Wealth Managers
Bogen & Partner was founded in 2007 in Graz, Austria, by Georg Zenker, who also acts as Managing Director. The firm positions itself as a wealth manager for Austrian professionals including doctors, lawyers, business economists, technicians, and entrepreneurs. While it offers conventional financing, investment, and insurance services, the Zenker family controls a second investment layer through Zen11 Holding GmbH, where family member Kathrin Zenker is involved as an investor. Bogen & Partner's investment mandate spans venture capital, real estate, private credit, and hard assets. Direct venture activity flows through Zen11 Holding, which participates in early-stage deals with co-investor Situlus Holding GmbH — a frequent partner in Austrian tech startups. Zen11 Holding is a qualified investor in the European Angel Fund (EAF) program. On the real estate side, 2K8 Immobilien Invest GmbH serves as a development and management partner, and the Zen11 Sustainable Real Estate Portfolio holds mixed-use properties in Austria. Pures Bauen Immobilientreuhand Projects adds residential exposure in Graz. The firm also holds positions in gold, gemstones, and short positions. The firm maintains a lean public profile, with no disclosed AUM or total deployment. In May 2024, Georg Zenker continued to lead the firm as CEO of Zen11 Holding (per Altss research, May 2024). Its specialized client base suggests a steward-of-capital posture rather than an asset-gathering model. Additional club and association memberships include the Chamber of Commerce Switzerland-Austria-Liechtenstein for cross-border investments and Science Park Graz and Gründungsgarage for academic startup ecosystem engagement. The structural distinction is the two-entity architecture: a regulated Austrian wealth manager serving professional clients operates alongside Zen11 Holding, the family's direct-investment vehicle. This allows the Zenker family to offer conventional wealth management while retaining a proprietary deal-by-deal co-investment posture in early-stage ventures and real estate — a capital-deployment model more common among single-family offices than retail-facing advisory firms.
