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.
