Our approach

BB Capital stands for Buy & Build Capital: an investment company for and by entrepreneurs. We invest not only capital, but also actively contribute to the growth of companies by bringing in knowledge and industry experts from our network. As a result, we are closely involved with management.

What sets us apart

Committed capital

The capital we invest has no fixed term or end date, allowing us to focus on the long-term growth of our portfolio companies and optimise the timing of exits.

Active investment management

We are an engaged investor, working closely with independent management teams on a monthly basis. For each company, we define a tailored growth plan together, reflecting its specific circumstances and ambitions.

Network

We provide capital and offer an extensive network of specialists and industry experts.

Investment themes

A digitalising economy

IT is no longer merely supportive; it now forms the core of almost every sector. Whether in logistics, healthcare or services, digitalisation is changing everything. With our experience in successful technology and software companies, we help businesses accelerate their digital transformation and become future-proof.

Lifelong learning

The world is changing rapidly, and education must evolve with it. We see significant opportunities in technologies and platforms that make learning more accessible, effective and personal. This applies to both children and professionals in education. We invest in companies that aim to renew the education market, with a focus on quality and scalability.

Human wellbeing

Health and wellbeing have become top priorities. People are making increasingly conscious choices for a healthy and happy lifestyle. We see strong potential in companies that respond to this trend with smart, human-centred solutions that are built for the future. From mental health to preventive care and lifestyle improvement.

Investment criteria

We preferably invest in companies that meet the following profile

  • Headquartered in the Netherlands
  • EBITDA exceeding EUR 1 million
  • With a committed management team with clear growth ambitions and an interest in selling a majority stake
  • A strong or leading position in a niche market, with multiple growth opportunities and realistic exit potential

Companies operating primarily on a project basis, as well as businesses in hospitality, real estate and start-ups, fall outside our investment scope.
