For the investor

We participate in Dutch medium-sized companies with a proven track record in a variety of sectors, with a preference for IT, data, services and trade. At Summit Strive, investors are offered an easy way to invest in unlisted companies.

Two important advantages

Investments at Summit Strive are made in a fund structure which allows us to build an attractive portfolio.
1. Rapid value growth through hands-on approach

Thanks to our hands-on approach, we create a tremendous increase in value for our portfolio companies in the first year post-investment. Using a proven structured approach, known as the “Summit Strive Practice”, we cover all the topics that will take the company to the next level, possibly as a company.

2. Flexible exit strategy

The flexible investment structure has the advantage that there is no need for a forced unwinding of the fund after the expiration of a pre-determined term, as is often the case with traditional private equity funds. The result of this flexible structure is that we can maximise sales proceeds and be responsive to developments in each invested business.
