Voordegroei

What they do

Founded in 2015 by former asset management professionals, Voordegroei was established to bridge the gap between institutional/private investors and Dutch SMEs. Initially starting with a crowdlending model, the firm has evolved into a sophisticated private debt manager, overseeing institutional SME loan funds such as the Fresh Dutch SME Fund and the Fresh Closed SME Fund II. Backed by major financial institutions including De Goudse Verzekeringen, OHV Vermogensbeheer, Invest-NL, and the European Investment Fund (EIF), Voordegroei is known for its rigorous credit analysis and for providing an entrepreneurial alternative to traditional bank financing.

What they look for

Voordegroei aims to put stagnant capital to work by providing the necessary "fuel" for Dutch SMEs to grow, innovate, become more sustainable, and expand internationally. They position themselves as an entrepreneurial alternative to banks, focusing on companies in their 2nd and 3rd phases of growth.
