Potential for Value Creation in SMEs
DELTA Equity Partners invests in growing small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with revenues between €5 and €25 million. While SMEs offer the greatest potential for value creation, this segment remains underserved by lenders, according to recent research*. Moreover, the balance sheets of many SMEs have deteriorated due to the COVID-19 crisis**. DELTA Equity Partners aims to support SMEs through equity investments and, with its new fund, provides financing for growth and acquisitions.
Focus and Added Value
The DELTA Equity Partners fund is unique in the Netherlands due to its exclusive focus on small and medium-sized businesses in the Technology and Healthcare sectors, its vision and approach to value creation, and the track record of its investment team and advisors in these industries. DELTA Equity Partners sees significant potential for societal value creation in both the Technology and Healthcare sectors.
In the Technology sector, the fund will invest in companies that add value in areas such as productivity and safety. In the Healthcare sector, it will invest in companies that contribute to better quality of care for patients, lower system costs, and improved population health. DELTA Equity Partners believes that passionate entrepreneurs can play a major role in creating this societal value — while achieving attractive returns for both entrepreneurs and investors.
The founders of DELTA Equity Partners, Niels van Aalten and John Luijs, have been active in the Technology and Healthcare sectors for many years and are supported by a broad network of advisors and investors with unmatched knowledge, connections, and experience in these fields. As an engaged shareholder, DELTA Equity Partners adds value not only by providing financial resources but also by contributing its expertise, network, and experience to the companies in which it invests.
Strong Fundraising Momentum
Based on the strong track record of its investment team and its attractive investment strategy, DELTA Equity Partners has attracted significant interest from both domestic and international investors. Despite the COVID-19 crisis and the war in Ukraine, DELTA raised over €42 million within six months for the first close of its fund. This first close allows the fund to complete its initial investments, which are currently being discussed. In the coming months, DELTA Equity Partners will work toward the final close of its fund.
