Our Story & Our People

Hi, I’m Nigel Catt — CEO of Dovera Capital & The Blackbridge Group nigel@theblackbridgegroup.com

Like many of you, my work takes me across borders to meet with investors and product originators.

Over the years, I’ve lugged laptops, folders, decks, and more across continents, always trying to present investment opportunities in the most professional and timely way possible:

In early 2024, I had a series of meetings lined up in Monaco for May. As we started planning in January, our team had one of those simple but game-changing conversations…

“What if we could put everything in one place, what if we put it in an app, an app you could share on the spot”?

A branded, professional space that didn’t just showcase opportunities, but allowed advisors, or anyone, to share them instantly, from anywhere.

That’s where the idea for MyBrokers App was born.

What followed was over 18 months of deep research, and a six figure investment, into how IFAs really work, their challenges, their frustrations, and what they need to grow without cold calling, messy email chains, or outdated systems.

Then we opened the door to product originators, giving them a smart, secure way to distribute offerings directly to advisors and their accredited clients.

Today, we’re proud to say: it’s live. It’s real. And it’s ready.

When I’m not actually working, I love watching sport, any sport. I’m a one-eyed Parramatta supporter as well as a legacy Collingwood supporter.
