Kaya Capital
Kaya Capital was established in 2005 by several Dutch entrepreneurial families. Wouter de Bruijn, Remko van de Koot and Jan-Willem van de Koot serve as the founding partners. The firm provides family-office services to those families plus additional foundations and pension funds. The firm allocates across private equity, real estate, hedge funds and commodities. It targets pre-seed through Series A stages in AgriTech & FoodTech, Digital Health, Industrial Tech and Robotics & Automation. Investments occur via direct holdings and the Kaya Family Pool. The pool has delivered a reported 73.64 percent cumulative return over ten years with 7.66 percent risk. All activity remains inside Europe. Kaya Capital maintains its own servers and software for reporting. It employs a small team of named partners and fund managers. Adjacent vehicles include the Kaya Real Estate Fund, Kaya Capital I Fund and Kaya Capital II Fund. No operational events from the last twenty-four months appear in public records. The firm holds Recognised Sponsor status with the Dutch Immigration and Naturalisation Service. This status supports internal operations but does not alter the core mandate of multi-generational capital preservation through pooled vehicles.
