Naarden, Netherlands · Venture Capital Prime Ventures is one of the longest-running growth-stage venture firms in the Netherlands, founded in 1999 and operating from Naarden with additional presence in London. The firm writes Series B and later checks of EUR 10-40 million into European technology companies with proven revenue traction, with a sector focus spanning B2B SaaS, digital marketplaces, fintech, and consumer internet. Over more than two decades Prime has backed companies including Just Eat, Takeaway.com, Gemalto, TaxiCaller, Brandbank, Recommind, and Impraise, and has produced several of the most profitable Dutch venture returns on record.
