Amsterdam’s Peak Capital launches new €66 million fund to invest in 20 fast-growing European marketplace, platform and SaaS companies

After the success of its three previous funds, Peak Capital launches its fourth fund with €66 million committed capital. The new fund aims to invest in 20 fast-growing European marketplace, platform and SaaS companies.

Peak Capital also strengthens its team with Jacqueline van den Ende, former HAL Investments and Rocket Internet. In addition to the partners, the investors of Peak Capital IV consist of renowned Dutch entrepreneurs who have co-founded companies such as Belvilla, Funda, Hippo, IMC, Kleding.nl, Netsociety, Wehkamp, Sunweb, World Ticket Center and Woodwing. Peak Capital’s 19 previous investments include successful exits such as IENS (acquired by Tripadvisor), Radionomy (acquired by Vivendi), Cheapcargo (acquired by PostNL,) but also OneFit, which recently merged with German Urban Sports Club to become the largest sports and fitness platform in Europe.

With its new fund “A Jump to New Heights”, Peak Capital focuses on European fast-growing early stage Marketplace, SaaS and Platform companies. Johan van Mil, co-founder and managing partner of Peak Capital stated: “Entrepreneurs benefit from our deep expertise with these business models in a wide array of markets. We, as investors and former entrepreneurs, provide hands-on support, helping companies scale at home and internationally, hire key talent, raise new series of funding and ultimately help realize successful exits.”

Jacqueline van den Ende will join the fund as a new partner. Alongside the current partners Heleen Dura van Oord, Johan van Mil and Stefan Bary, Jacqueline will add a lot of experience both as an entrepreneur and investor. During her studies, Jacqueline founded De Kleine Consultant. Subsequently she worked with HAL Investments and joined Rocket Internet as founder and CEO of real estate startup Lamudi in the Philippines. In the past 2 years she was CEO of Ant Financial backed fintech scale up TrueMoney.

Jacqueline van den Ende commented: “Peak Capital to me truly is one of the most entrepreneurial and value adding investors out there. I appreciate the super hands on approach Peak Capital has with its portfolio companies. I look forward to investing the Peak Capital IV fund in new high potential ventures and supporting them in their journey from startup to scaleup.”
