About

Capital Blue Partners is a Dutch family office that is currently active in the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. We have an investment focus on private equity, and a particular interest in food, sustainable energy and IT.

We have acquired our capital through entrepreneurship and hard work. We believe that this requires stepping of beaten tracks, a solution-oriented approach and taking calculated risks. We invest in entrepreneurs echoing this mentality, and who besides add meaning to society through their business. With this in mind, we think it is important to support with long term capital ánd knowledge and experience through sustainable growth.

Main innovation goals / -themes of your organization:

Currently, a major focus is on the energy and mobility transition - which we also find very important. However, we think that the transition of food is underexposed and there is a lot of room for innovation on different levels. Examples are the impact of food on our environment (soil sealing, carbon emissions, the discussions around agriculture, food waste etc.), but also staff shortage and inflation are challenges the sector is facing. We are looking for innovations addressing these challenges, which could be in the form of products, but also IT/AI solutions.

Special opportunities you can offer start-ups/scale-ups/SME’s:

Capital Blue Partners supports its portfolio companies via capital and knowledge/experience. Our team brings extensive food service knowledge and a broad network (25+ years of experience in food service in the Netherlands and Germany), (legal) M&A experience and skills in scaling a business on a commercial level. 

Examples of previous cooperation projects:

Capital Blue Partners was founded in 2022 and we have currently invested in three food-related companies, being a UK vertical farmer (deal was not disclosed), Wholy Greens (vegetable pasta) and Karma Kebab (plantbased kebab). We are too early stage to already elaborate on the success of these collaborations, but we are in close contact with them to help them grow to the next level.
