Amsterdam-based Marktlink Capital Raises €520M Funding

Based in Amsterdam, Marktlink Capital focuses on supporting entrepreneurs and private investors. The capital will be allocated to eleven private equity funds, including Hg, Adams Street Partners, Egeria, Mill Point Capital, and Hertoghs.

These investments will support hundreds of strong companies and the entrepreneurs behind them.

Marktlink recently closed its fifth private equity fund-of-funds at €440 million, surpassing its €300 million target. Alongside this, its third venture capital fund reached its maximum of €80 million.

Some of the funds have already been invested in well-known funds, with several technology and AI companies showing strong valuations.

“Despite, or perhaps even thanks to, these turbulent economic times, we managed to raise a record amount for one of our funds,” says Hylke Hertoghs, managing partner of Marktlink Capital.

“Geopolitical tensions, trade tariffs, and the declining attractiveness of real estate as an asset class are increasing uncertainty in the stock market. Investors are therefore increasingly turning to broader, diversified investment strategies.”

“The funds we’ve selected are a good mix of Dutch, European, and North American funds that respond to current market conditions. Several funds have already started investing, and initial valuations are higher than expected,” adds Hertoghs.

Founded in 2020, Marktlink Capital opens private equity and venture capital opportunities to private investors.

Since then, it has raised over €2.5 billion in committed capital, primarily from Dutch entrepreneurs and affluent families.

With investments starting at €250,000, Marktlink Capital aims to make private equity and venture capital more accessible.

Through fund-of-funds and feeder funds, the Dutch firm invests in private equity and venture capital funds that were once limited to institutional investors.

This approach has opened doors for nearly two thousand Dutch entrepreneurs and families to access these exclusive funds.

Marktlink Capital is part of Marktlink, a company advising entrepreneurs on buying and selling SMEs since 1996.
