Searching in the Netherlands?

May 26, 2026

We're working hard to grow the Searchfunder community in the Netherlands. Please take a moment to introduce yourself below. Some questions to consider answering: Where are you based? What is your background? What's your buy box? Have you acquired yet? Where do you need the most help right now? Where can you provide help to others? Anything else on your mind? We'll be able to have much deeper discussions if you can provide as much detail as possible. A paragraph or two is perfect. Be sure to tag (@) when replying to comments to make sure your sub-comments are read.

same as in the 'introduce yourself to Europe' thread: Hi! Matthijs here - from NL. Background as operator in SME, lastly CEO of an international sports equipment company, so deep operating experience but no M&A background, EMBA from RSM / Erasmus '20. Looking for €1-5M EBITDA businesses. Happy to connect and help where I can :-) Enjoy your day!

Thanks ^redacted‌^ Hi! Chuks here - based in Amsterdam Background in investment banking, and was introduced to Search Funds during my MBA at IESE. Met a lot of people in the ETA community in Netherlands during the Rotterdam School of Management maiden ETA event in November###-###-#### Still connected with the IESE ETA Community as several of my classmates have either acquired companies or are currently searching. I built a software to help investment banking / private equity / ETA investors, advisors and searchers review a transaction 10x faster in Excel which plugs a gap in the market (complementary to Claude or other AI-for-modelling tools). How I can help: Focusing on sharing this with the community to support the deal analysis process and open to feedback to improve and make it better. I can run a live investment model review with you for free. DM's are open. Always happy to meet up any searchers in Netherlands or the greater Benelux region... in person.
