Hubert and Ewout celebrate 25 Years at Holland Capital – A milestone in entrepreneurial investing
Amsterdam / Düsseldorf, 17th of July 2025 – This month, we celebrate a memorable milestone: Hubert Verbeek and Ewout Prins joined Holland Capital 25 years ago. A remarkable achievement we are proud to celebrate.
From Holland Venture to Holland Capital
When Hubert and Ewout joined, our investment fund was still operating under the name Holland Venture. The foundation of our organization was already well established: since its inception in 1981, Holland Venture has steadily built a strong track record. By 2010, we had already completed 110 successful investments, and by 2012, our team had grown to 12 employees.
Since January 1, 2019, we have operated under the name Holland Capital. This change marked an important step forward, driven by two key reasons:
• Better alignment with our activities: ‘Capital’ more accurately reflects what we do.We don’t just provide funding, we actively contribute to growth;
• A broader focus: from startups to mature companies with international ambitions and buy-and-build strategies.
Growth, ambition and collaboration
Added value through experience, hands-on support and collaboration
