About Egeria

With over 25 years of investment experience, we are passionate about building healthy and growing businesses, developing great places to live and work, and engaging in meaningful dialogues with management teams.

We are pragmatic and no-nonsense investors who do not shy away from a challenge. In fact, that is when we thrive. We believe in growth, and we believe in cooperation. Whether this means working together with entrepreneurs, management teams, architects, or our vast network of industry experts, we aim to be value-adding partners every step of the way.

Our origin lies in Private Equity, which is still at the core of our business today. Egeria is an active partner that aims to accelerate growth, both organically and through acquisitions. We invest in healthy businesses in the Netherlands, the DACH region, and North America with an enterprise value of up to €500 million, with the underlying principle that management is a co-owner. Our interest lies in businesses with growth potential that are active in a market with attractive prospects.

We have a solid backbone of institutional investors, families, and team commitment. Egeria encourages growth initiatives that drive sustainable value creation rather than short-term gains. The common denominators we seek in our investments include strong market positions, sustainable business models, and committed teams. That is what boldly building together means to us.
