Boosting European internet scale-ups.

As Dutch/German scale-up investor we invested since 2006 in more than 30 European scale-ups across 7 countries.

Driven by AI, deep learning, quantum computing and democratized algorithems, we execute on our Intelligent Empowerment thesis.

Shift happens; we are supporting those entrepreneurs who drive that change and will shape the future.

We have assisted most of our portfolio companies with their Buy & Build based on which 30+ add-on companies have been acquired expending overall into 22 countries.

Out of our two homemarkets Germany and The Netherlands we invest in multiple European countries.

We care: entrepreneurs in who we invested for the second time, portfolio entrepreneurs who invested in our own funds, former employees who came back and so on.

We strongly believe that growing scale-ups rapidly is all about saying NO to numerous activities.

We are PRI signatory and highly value the principles for responsible investments, promoted by the United Nations.

Numerous portfolio companies have been successfully acquired by publicly quoted buyers across 3 continents, such as Protolabs, Lightspeed, Newscorp, Xerox, Cimpress and Macromill.
