Building sustainable mental healthcare in the Netherlands
Healthcare Venture is a specialised investment company that acquires established Dutch mental healthcare (GGZ) organisations, strong in both care and organisation, and strengthens them for the long term. We invest our own capital alongside a select group of committed investors, with deep experience in healthcare and a disciplined buy & build strategy.
Our goals
Appropriate, high-quality care for every client
A leading quality benchmark for complex mental healthcare in the Netherlands
A financially healthy group, because continuity of care starts with a healthy organisation
The result: organisations that are stronger in care, in people and in numbers.
We acquire and strengthen mental healthcare organisations
Demand for mental healthcare in the Netherlands keeps growing, waiting lists are long, and provision is fragmented. At the same time, many established GGZ organisations face questions about succession, scale and the growing burden of administration.
Healthcare Venture was founded to acquire, strengthen and grow exactly these organisations. Step by step, through buy & build, we are building a connected group for ambulatory mental healthcare: guidance (begeleiding), treatment (behandeling) and forensic care for adults with complex psychiatric needs. The care, the teams and each organisation’s identity remain. We add what makes an organisation stronger: professional administration, quality systems, technology and financial stability.
What are our principles?
Care comes first
Quality and continuity of care lead every decision we take.
Organisations stay true to themselves and keep improving
Name, team and way of working remain, while we work with management on what can be stronger and where the organisation can grow. Cultural fit is a key criterion at every step.
We take an active role
We genuinely work within the organisation. We are present and talk with employees to determine together what is best for the organisation and its clients. We invest our own capital alongside a select group of committed investors, with a multi-year horizon and a focus on sustainable growth.
Vision
A fully integrated mental healthcare group in the Netherlands, covering the care chain from guidance (begeleiding) to complex psychiatric treatment. Clients receive appropriate, high-quality care. We set the quality benchmark for complex mental healthcare and build a financially healthy group, because continuity of care starts with a healthy organisation.
Mission
To make high-quality, client-focused care possible by finding the real need behind the question. We support clients and care professionals alike, through strong governance, smart technology and a people-centred approach.
