About

The term 'Informal Collective' refers to the broader group of informal investors, often synonymous with angel investors, who play a crucial role in the Dutch startup ecosystem by providing early-stage risk capital. These wealthy individuals or business angels typically invest their personal funds directly into promising startups, particularly in the initial funding rounds. They are characterized by their active involvement, offering not just capital but also business skills and monitoring to their portfolio companies. Unlike formal VC funds, their structures are less formalized, focusing on a partnership approach with entrepreneurs.

Investment profile
Investment thesis
Informal investors aim to generate long-term capital growth through equity participation in private companies. They are driven by the potential for high returns that compensate for the increased risk associated with early-stage financing. Their investment decisions are often based on a strong belief in the founding team and the innovative potential of the business idea, with a focus on active involvement and strategic guidance rather than solely financial returns.
