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.
