About Freshstream

Freshstream Investment Partners is a midmarket private equity firm with offices in Amsterdam and London. It seeks to partner with entrepreneurs and management teams of growing companies in the Benelux and UK to provide insight, expertise and capital in order to build strong, future-proof businesses that create value for their shareholders.

Our strategy is to partner with family owners and founders, typically acquiring majority stakes. We are currently investing out of our second fund which we raised in 2023 and exceeded our target at €762m from a mix of institutional investors (e.g. sovereign wealth funds, pension funds) and private wealth as well as the Freshstream team itself. The size of our first fund was €600m. We typically invest between €50-100m of equity per deal and we have the possibility to extend beyond this by partnering with a group of co-investors we frequently work with.

Our team consists of 15 investment professionals, 5 members of our Value Creation & ESG team and a further 10 colleagues across our Legal, Finance and Investor Relations teams. Our team is an international mix of backgrounds and complementary skills and expertise. Roughly half of our team is Dutch or Dutch-speaking. We are a young firm and we very much think of ourselves as entrepreneurs as well. Nothing is set in stone at Freshstream. We foster an entrepreneurial environment and pride ourselves for our open, no-nonsense culture. We really operate as an integrated team across the firm and team members work across both our offices.

Our Amsterdam office is located just off Waterlooplein, in the city centre.

Freshstream is a signatory of the UN Principles for Responsible Investment and the Initiative Climate International, a participant in the ILPA ESG Data Convergence Initiative, and has been carbon neutral since 2018.
