DBC is deliberately selective. We measure the strength of the Council through the relevance, credibility and contribution of the people around the table — not simply the number of names attached to it.

Strict Governance

Member - vetted admissions and code of conduct

Membership is selective by design. We look for individuals and organizations with meaningful decision-making authority, a verifiable record of execution and the judgment required to contribute to a trusted network. A vetted network of investors, diplomats, and officials- by referral and review only.
