Press release

Nyver Capital Partners (“Nyver”), an Amsterdam-based newly established private equity firm, is delighted to announce the final close of its inaugural Nyver I fund (“the Fund”) at its hard cap of €335 million. This makes it the largest first-time private equity fund raised to date in the Netherlands. The fund was significantly oversubscribed, reaching its hard cap in just over four months, which is a testament to the strong support from a diverse group of global investors.

The Fund will focus on buyout investments in knowledge-intensive, asset-light businesses across the Netherlands, focusing on founder-led companies. Nyver will target profitable B2B companies across IT & business services, critical engineered components and essential products. Nyver applies a human capital centric approach helping strong teams build even stronger organisations and accelerate growth.

Nyver I received the vast majority of its commitments from a broad group of institutional investors globally, including endowments and foundations, asset managers, family offices and insurance companies. This was augmented with commitments from its network of respected entrepreneurs. The strong demand for Nyver I reflects investor confidence in the team’s vision and track record.

Floris Waage, Managing Partner at Nyver, commented:

“Our vision for Nyver is to be the partner of choice for Dutch entrepreneurs seeking to accelerate and transform their businesses into true market leaders. We have a deep passion for entrepreneurship and cooperating with the best teams possible. We help to build organisations and grow people, not just numbers. We are very grateful that high quality institutional investors and well-respected Dutch entrepreneurs alike have given their overwhelming support to Nyver.”

Asante Capital Group acted as exclusive global fundraising adviser, while Loyens & Loeff acted as lead outside counsel.
