1707 Capital is a single-family office with an international, diversified, operating business centric portfolio

About us

A single-family office led by Paul-Bernard Poupon and Maximilian Poupon with European entrepreneurial roots, expanding internationally with a strong focus on emerging markets such as India and Southeast Asia. The legacy of the Poupon family traces back to 1865 when Auguste Poupon founded the renowned Dijon mustard brand, Grey Poupon. Throughout the 1900s, the family gained significant success and recognition. During this era, Kraft Foods acquired the American rights for Grey Poupon, and the acquisition of Maille allowed the family to venture into the realm of pickles. Later, under Bernard Poupon’s leadership, the acquisition of Hugo Rietzel, a Swiss agri-food company, established the family as a notable gherkin pickle producer. Whilst our primary focus remains in the agri/food processing industry, we have diversified our portfolio across various sectors such as manufacturing (building materials, glass), services (IT staffing, healthcare/mortgage BPO), and digital ventures (various tech/data ventures). We maintain close collaboration with our portfolio organisations while actively seeking new opportunities that align with our legacy assets and offer synergistic potential.

  • Dubai's recent issuance of Executive Council Resolution No. (11) of 2025 marks a transformative shift for free zone companies, enabling them to operate across mainland Dubai with the necessary permits from the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism (DET). This progressive regulation offers multiple avenues for free zone entities: - Branch Establishment: Setting up a physical branch in mainland Dubai. - Dual Licensing: Operating onshore while maintaining headquarters in a free zone, eliminating the need for additional onshore premises. - Temporary Permits: Conducting specific activities onshore for up to six months without a permanent establishment. By facilitating seamless expansion and reducing operational costs, this resolution enhances Dubai's appeal as a global business hub. It aligns with the Dubai Economic Agenda (D33), aiming to double the emirate's economy by 2033. This initiative underscores Dubai's commitment to fostering a dynamic and inclusive economic environment, offering businesses unprecedented flexibility and growth opportunities. https://lnkd.in/dcUjH5Wd

  • At 1707 Capital, we understand that managing a family office is more than just wealth preservation—it’s about striking the right balance between legacy and long-term business growth. This theme was central to the discussion at the recent Dubai Family Office Forum, where our Managing Director, Paul-Bernard Poupon, explored some of the most pressing challenges family offices face today: ✅ How do you balance family expectations with the operational focus of a family office? ✅ Can a formal structure help manage this balance more effectively? ✅ How do you ensure a family office evolves to meet changing needs while staying true to its long-term vision?   For us, the answer lies in clear governance, disciplined decision-making, and an entrepreneurial mindset. A family office must be agile enough to adapt while staying rooted in its core principles. As the landscape evolves, so must our approach—blending structure with flexibility, tradition with innovation. The key? Investing in businesses, not just assets—because true long-term value is built, not simply acquired.   We’d love to hear your thoughts—how do you see family offices evolving to meet the future?   #1707Capital #FamilyOffice #PrivateInvestment #Governance #LegacyAndGrowth #DubaiFamilyOfficeForum
