The Sofindev Partnership model
At Sofindev, we believe that sustainable growth starts with strong entrepreneurs and management teams. We’re convinced that value creation is never one-size-fits-all—every company is unique in its challenges and ambitions. That’s why we choose a true partnership model: building on the proven success of each business. We commit personally, communicate transparently, and actively engage to support companies in their next phase of growth.
The Sofindev DNA
When a private equity investor steps in, questions often arise about the impact on a company’s operations and its people.
At Sofindev, we understand these concerns. That’s why we consciously choose an approach where growth always goes hand in hand with respect—for both the entrepreneur and the employees. We believe that sustainable value creation is only possible when there’s genuine attention for the people behind the business.
Trust is at the heart of everything we do.
We work transparently, act as a true companion on the journey, and serve as a strategic sounding board for entrepreneurs. We offer hands-on support to help realize growth ambitions. Our no-nonsense mindset, grounded and pragmatic, has been part of Sofindev’s DNA since its founding in 1991. Every team member shares these values: we are doers, pragmatic and committed, and we dedicate ourselves to the success of both the business and the people behind it. That’s how we help companies—and their teams—continue to flourish.
Our added value
For us, entrepreneurship is not a standard recipe—it’s a shared journey built on collaboration, expertise, and empowering management teams.
We work closely with entrepreneurs to accelerate their growth story through four strategic pillars:
1. Strategic support
We help define the right direction—refining strategic priorities, developing innovation initiatives, and designing governance and incentive plans to attract and motivate talent.
2. Operational strengthening
We support companies in professionalizing their organization: recruitment, reporting, digital transformation, and building strategic partnerships with customers and suppliers.
3. Buy & Build
We are an active partner in acquisitions—from identifying and approaching targets to evaluating and negotiating deals, structuring financing, and integrating new entities into a strong platform.
4. Geographic expansion
We assist companies in scaling internationally, offering market research, local insights, and access to a network that reaches far beyond the Benelux.
