What Pymwymic does

Pymwymic is a privately held impact investment firm headquartered in Amsterdam that has operated since 1994 as a cooperative of families, philanthropists, and institutional investors backing agrifood innovation. As of 2026 it manages more than €170m across three Article 9 SFDR-compliant funds—the Healthy Ecosystems Impact Fund I, the Healthy Food Systems Impact Fund II (€71.5m vintage 2022), and the newly launched Healthy Food Systems Growth Impact Fund III acquired via the transfer of the Triodos Food Transition Europe Fund. The firm invests from Seed through growth-stage, with disclosed ticket sizes of €1m–€5m into technology companies across the agriculture and food value chain, including regenerative agriculture, soil health, food waste reduction, precision ag-tech, plant-based proteins, and supply chain traceability. Pymwymic's portfolio comprises 40+ companies across 16 countries, with recent disclosed deployments in Stenon (Series B, €18m, lead), Seqana, Resurrect Bio, DAT, Kilter, BiocSol, Vivent Biosignals, TRACT, Rival Foods, and Doktar. Notable exits include Ceradis (to Gowan), Fairphone (€49m), Augmenta ($110m exit to CNH Industrial), and Connecterra.

Pymwymic generates revenue through traditional fund management fees charged on committed and deployed capital across its three funds, supplemented by carried interest on successful exits. The firm is owned by the Stichting Pymwymic Foundation (mission protection) and the Pymwymic Impact Investing Coöperatief U.A. (the 250+ member cooperative), with institutional LPs including Invest-NL, Oost NL, Invest International, and APG. Pymwymic is the first B Corp in the Netherlands (score 141/200) and holds EU SFDR Article 9 certification on both flagship funds, providing differentiated access to impact-mandated capital. Its go-to-market combines inbound portfolio company applications (~1,000/year screened to ~5 invested), LP relationships cultivated over three decades through the cooperative, and ecosystem engagement via the Schevichoven regenerative showcase farm, the SDG House coworking location, and annual impact reports.

The firm does not develop proprietary technology products; rather, it provides capital, sector expertise, go-to-market support, and impact-measurement frameworks (Theory of Change with quarterly impact KPIs, annual ESG data collection for SFDR compliance) to portfolio companies. Its team stood at 14 employees as of 2026, expanded from 11 by adding three hires transferred from Triodos Investment Management alongside the Fund III acquisition.
