Amsterdam/ Düsseldorf, 30th of December 2024 –The developments at Holland Capital in 2024 reflect our strong ambitions.

Sector focus and an entrepreneurial hands-on approach: With specialized sector teams, we focus on the sectors of Healthcare, Technology, and Agrifood, both within the Growth & Buy-out and Venture & Growth segments. We understand the dynamics and opportunities in these sectors and have an extensive network. Holland Capital is not a passive investor; we work closely with management to define and execute strategies. Where needed, our operational team also contributes hands-on to the realization of specific projects within the company.
Which companies would we like to connect with?
- Sector: Technology, Healthcare, and Agrifood
- Positive outlook: Significant growth potential, both autonomous and buy-and-build
- Growth & Buy-out:
- Healthy profitability: cash flow from operations (EBITDA) between EUR 1 – 10m
- Smaller companies: considered as add-on acquisitions for our existing portfolio companies
- Larger companies: considered together with a co-investor
- Venture & Growth:
- Start-ups and scale-ups: EBITDA EUR <1m
- Cash flow negative (in an accelerated growth scenario)
- Revenue EUR 0 – 5m
What to expect from us?
- Flexible approach to transaction structures: We strive to adapt each structure to the needs of the company and its shareholders. Depending on the type of investment, Holland Capital either provides growth capital and/or acquires existing shares. We are flexible regarding the final capital structure: both majority and minority stakes are possible.
- Deal certainty and an efficient process: Thanks to our sector expertise, we are able to quickly assess a business model and put a fair price on the table. Since the partnership with the entrepreneur and/or the management team is the cornerstone of our investment, we devote above-average attention to ensuring the process is completed efficiently, in the right spirit, and with mutual respect for both parties.
- Transparency towards advisors: We appreciate it when advisors involve us early in discussions with entrepreneurs and/or management teams. In such cases, we always ensure that the advisor’s interests are well safeguarded throughout the process. The advisor retains the flexibility to decide whether to represent the sell-side or buy-side in a potential transaction.

Interview with Margot Engels
Investing in healthcare has pros and cons. In addition to the financial aspect, social responsibility is at least as important. Substantive knowledge of the product, the sector and market movements are therefore essential, as Margot Engels also knows.
