Your Growth Engineering Partner for scale-ups in the Netherlands.
TGC Capital Partners is headquartered in Zoetermeer. We work directly with Dutch scale-up founders across the Randstad, Brabant and the Twente technology corridor - combining a minority stake with engineering, sales and marketing capacity from our global teams, as one programme.
The Netherlands ecosystem, as we see it
The Netherlands has Europe's densest concentration of software founders per capita. Series A capital is widely available; the gap is at the scaling stage, where capacity becomes the binding constraint. As a Dutch-headquartered firm, we work locally and intensively with Randstad founders.
