Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at StartGreen Capital?
The firm is led by co-founders and managing partners Laura Rooseboom and Coenraad de Vries, alongside managing partner Anouk Blüm. Each underlying fund — Borski Fund, PDENH, the ASN funds, and Energiefonds Overijssel — operates with its own senior investment directors such as Simone Brummelhuis, Anthony Viellevoije, Erhan Yildiz, and Nienke Rijpstra.
How is StartGreen Capital structured — is it a single fund or a platform?
StartGreen is a fund-management platform housing multiple separate vehicles. These include the Borski Fund (female-led tech ventures), PDENH (renewable-energy project development), the ASN energy and innovation funds, and the region-specific Energiefonds Overijssel. Each vehicle maintains its own investment committee and limited-partner base.
Does StartGreen Capital provide debt, equity, or both?
StartGreen finances impact companies and energy projects with both loans and risk capital. Its funds can underwrite senior-secured project debt, convertible instruments and minority equity stakes, depending on the vehicle. For example, Energiefonds Overijssel has a dedicated loan program alongside its equity mandate.
Which sectors does StartGreen Capital explicitly invest in?
The firm focuses on three impact domains: sustainable energy (renewables, battery storage, grid services), circular and local economy (modular housing, biobased materials, circular chemicals), and equality and fair opportunity (digital health, ethical electronics, inclusive fintech). Cross-cutting tools include AI for energy forecasting and medical-image analysis.
What investment stages does StartGreen Capital typically target?
The firm is active from seed and start-up venture through to late-stage growth. It also finances mature infrastructure-scale energy projects via PDENH and regional development loans. Confirmed investees range from early ventures like The Fabricant (digital fashion) to large-scale operating assets such as the Bomhofsplas floating solar park.
Does StartGreen Capital participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?
StartGreen operates its own dedicated funds rather than committing as an LP to external managers. The platform raises capital from institutional, public and retail investors into its thematic vehicles and then invests directly into companies and projects.
How is StartGreen Capital related to the crowdfunding platform Oneplanetcrowd?
StartGreen founded Oneplanetcrowd in 2012 as a vehicle for retail participation in renewable-energy projects. The platform was later rebranded to Invesdor and continues to channel citizen capital into wind and solar parks, operating alongside StartGreen's institutional fund vehicles.
