F3 Finance
F3 Finance was established in 2013 as a spin-out of Praxis Private Office. Eric Spaas founded the predecessor firm in 2000. The structure formalizes investment activity developed by core families around Praxis. The firm pursues minority stakes in family-controlled private companies and quality positions in listed family-owned businesses. It also allocates to strategic pools and selected external private equity funds. Geographic reach centers on Belgium and broader Europe. Confirmed relationships include the Voeten Family through Distri Beheer 21 and the de Mévius Family as co-investors. No AUM figure is published. The team operates from a single office at Van Putlei 31 in Antwerp. Adjacent vehicles include the Peace Parks Foundation. No operational events from the last 24 months appear in available records. F3 Finance functions as a dedicated vehicle for families that originated around Praxis Private Office. This creates a closed circle of capital providers who also participate directly in vehicles such as F3 Finance PE II and PE VII.
