Peak

Venture Capital · Amsterdam, Netherlands

Peak is an Amsterdam-based seed venture capital firm founded in 2013 by a group of serial European founders — Johan van Mil, Daniel Hennes, Madeline Lawrence, and later Luc Mader — who wanted to build a fund explicitly aimed at first-time SaaS, marketplace, and platform founders in Europe. The firm writes initial checks of EUR 500K to EUR 4M at pre-seed and seed, reserves meaningful follow-on capacity through Series A, and takes a hands-on partner model that is unusually involved in hiring, pricing, and product-strategy work for portfolio companies. Peak's portfolio has included Trengo, Creative Fabrica, Catawiki, Miinto, Homerun, and Recruitee, and the firm is one of the most consistent seed-stage names in Benelux/DACH venture. It closed its fifth fund in 2023 and remains a reference seed investor for founders across the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, and the Nordics.
