Our portfolio companies are delivering real impact in their industries, ranging from climate-resilient vegetable seeds to safer and more efficient batteries. We are committed to catalysing positive change in the world, which is why we only invest in companies that support one or more environmental, social and/or corporate governance (ESG) goals. Overall impact is important to us, so we focus on both late-stage startups as well as early-stage founders who are making a difference. We are technology enthusiasts with decades of experience in (bio)physics, physiology, chemistry, engineering, and more. We take a hands-on approach to investing, where we act as not only a financial investor but also a business partner, actively supporting our portfolio in reaching their growth and impact goals. Active since 2000, we are the most experienced deep-tech VC firm in the Netherlands and have become a leading player in the Benelux region. We have 20+ years of partnership with key research institutes and experts that support our portfolio.
