Duurzaam Investeren

What Duurzaam Investeren does

Duurzaam Investeren (legally Crowdinvesting B.V.) operates a regulated crowdfunding marketplace headquartered in Amsterdam that connects Dutch and European retail investors with sustainable energy and transition projects. Founded in 2013, the platform enables individuals to invest directly in solar, wind, battery storage, e-mobility, circular economy, and sustainable real estate projects through junior and senior bond instruments as well as convertible loans, with minimum investments starting at €250 and stated returns typically ranging from 4% to 9.5% annually. The platform also operates a citizen participation (burgerparticipatie) model that gives local residents priority access to community renewable projects.

The underlying technology is a web-based investment platform with integrated KYC/AML, iDIN digital identity verification, an automated suitability testing system (24-month validity), and tripartite investor agreements administered through payment and custody partners. The platform is regulated under dual frameworks: a Dutch AFM MiFID investment service license held since December 2013 and a pan-EU ECSPR license granted in November 2023, with AFS Group providing securities custody, ABN AMRO Clearing Bank handling payment traffic, and Lemonway (post-acquisition) processing investor accounts. The Academy content library, podcast series, and investor education resources complement the transactional product.

The business model is transaction-based: Duurzaam Investeren charges transaction fees to investors for platform use and order processing, plus listing fees to project issuers. All revenue streams are transaction/take-rate rather than subscription. The customer base is split between retail sustainable investors (persona segment) and sustainable entrepreneurs/project developers (business segment), with secondary buyer influence from strategic partners such as Triodos, Greenchoice, and YARD ENERGY. As of late 2025, the platform reported €400M+ in cumulative financing across 344 projects with 23,600+ registered investors; in December 2025, French energy crowdfunding platform Enerfip acquired the company, creating a combined entity with ~40% European sustainable crowdfunding market share across France, Spain, Italy, and the Netherlands.

Core offering

Duurzaam Investeren operates a Dutch online crowdfunding marketplace (DuurzaamInvesteren.nl, legal entity Crowdinvesting B.V.) that connects retail investors with sustainable energy and sustainability projects. It funds renewable projects via Projectfinanciering (project financing, typically subordinated loans) and Groeifinanciering (growth financing via convertible loans or shares) for sustainable businesses. The platform operates under an EU ECSPR license and offers MiFID investment services, plus an Academy educational hub and citizen participation services.

Product overview

DuurzaamInvesteren.nl (trading as Crowdinvesting B.V.) operates a Dutch crowdfunding marketplace for sustainable investment. The core product is a platform connecting sustainable project issuers with retail investors, offering two main financing structures: project financing (projectfinanciering) for specific sustainable energy assets such as solar, wind, and hydropower, and growth financing (groeifinanciering) for sustainable businesses in sectors like e-mobility, circular economy, and agriculture. The platform also supports citizen participation (burgerparticipatie) offerings giving local residents priority access to nearby renewable energy projects. An Academy provides investor education through news, podcasts, and a financial dictionary. The platform operates under two regulatory frameworks: ECSPR for projects under EUR 5 million (enabling EU-wide operations) and MiFID II for larger financing rounds. A partnership with AFS Group enables securities custody and secondary market trading. The platform was acquired by French crowdfunding platform Enerfip in December 2025 and is transitioning to the Enerfip brand, operating from offices in Amsterdam.
