Nyver Capital Partners has completed the final close of its debut private equity vehicle, Nyver I, at its hard cap of €335 million, marking the largest first-time private equity fund ever raised in the Netherlands. The Amsterdam-based firm reached the hard cap in slightly more than four months, reflecting strong global investor demand for its strategy and team.
The oversubscribed fund will pursue buyout investments in founder-led, knowledge-intensive, and asset-light companies across the Netherlands. Nyver is targeting profitable B2B businesses operating in IT and business services, critical engineered components, and essential products. The firm emphasizes a human capital-centric investment philosophy that focuses on partnering with strong management teams and supporting them in building larger and more resilient organisations.
Nyver I received the majority of its capital from a diverse institutional LP base that includes endowments, foundations, asset managers, family offices, and insurance companies. Additional commitments came from a network of Dutch entrepreneurs who maintain long-standing relationships with the team. The scale and speed of commitments reflect strong investor confidence in Nyver’s approach and leadership.
Support: Asante Capital Group served as the exclusive global fundraising adviser for the offering, while Loyens & Loeff acted as lead outside counsel on the fund close.
