Providence Capital
Providence Capital was established in 2005 by Jilles Hoek and Andries Nieuwland. The founders created the firm to serve entrepreneur-led families and charities with integrated asset management, strategic advice and administrative services. The firm deploys capital through buyouts, distressed debt, secondaries, venture and co-investments. Confirmed focuses include Industrial Tech and Healthcare Services. Geographic reach covers Europe and the Caribbean. Portfolio exposure includes luxury residential real estate advisory mandates in the Netherlands and private markets positions held globally. The firm is a signatory to the UN Principles for Responsible Investment since 2012. Providence Capital employs an undisclosed number of professionals at its Bussum headquarters. It maintains a Rijksmuseum partnership in Amsterdam and supports African Parks and Stichting Michelle. In 2024 Strikwerda Investments became the majority owner. The firm also sponsors ACG Holland events for the regional M&A community. Providence Capital operates under full Dutch regulatory licences rather than a pure advisory structure. This licence framework, combined with the 2024 ownership change to Strikwerda Investments, creates a distinct governance and compliance posture compared with typical multi-family offices.
