Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Partners in Equity?
Managing Partner Lenny Woldringh leads the firm. The partnership group also includes Sam Allen, Fokke de Vries, Ids van der Weij, and Gerard Ellerman, all listed as Partners on the firm’s website. The firm does not publicly subdivide investment committee responsibilities or delegate authority beyond the named partnership.
What investment stages does Partners in Equity target?
The firm invests across early-stage startups, venture, and growth-stage companies. Its mandate is stage-agnostic within its three environmental themes, allowing it to back both early-stage climate-tech ventures and expansion-stage circular-economy businesses.
Which sectors does Partners in Equity explicitly avoid?
The firm’s mandate is exclusive to three themes: sustainable agriculture and food systems, circularity, and climate solutions. Any sector outside those three — such as digital health, enterprise software, or financial services — falls outside its stated investment criteria.
