Strikwerda Investments

What Strikwerda Investments does

Strikwerda Investments B.V. is a privately held Dutch family office founded in 1984 and headquartered in Blaricum, Netherlands, now owned and managed by the second generation of the Strikwerda family under CEO Tjitske Strikwerda. The firm operates a serial acquirer and buy-and-build model focused on technology-driven companies in IT services, software, and online services across Europe, executing more than 300 acquisitions across 26 countries through a dedicated team of more than 70 M&A professionals. Its current portfolio is organized into five autonomous platforms: Your.World, a European online services leader formed in 2024 by consolidating Your.Online, Your.Cloud (formerly TSH), Confido, and WiseFundaments, generating €675 million in combined 2024 revenue and serving more than 1 million customers; Topicus.com, an international vertical market software platform listed on the Canadian Stock Exchange following a 2021 merger; DomiLinq, a Dutch HOA and real estate management platform; Nou, a managed printing services provider; and Fidicon, an AI-enabled SME accounting services platform launched in April 2026.

The firm generates returns through equity investments, capital gains, and long-term value creation rather than traditional product pricing, with patient permanent capital sourced from family resources augmented by institutional co-investment. In January 2025, Strikwerda's consolidated Your.World platform received an €800 million strategic investment from Ares Management and Carlyle, following a €1 billion syndicated term loan refinancing in November 2024, marking a shift from purely family-backed capital to selective institutional partnerships. Revenue mechanics flow through subsidiary-level managed services contracts, subscription-based online services, MSP contracts, and vertical software licenses across SMB and mid-market customer segments.

The underlying technology architecture spans standard web hosting, domain registration, cloud infrastructure, managed IT services, cybersecurity, digital trust, vertical SaaS, document management, and AI-assisted accounting workflows. Strikwerda's go-to-market relies on a referral-driven, network-based sourcing model rather than traditional marketing channels, leveraging its reputation, entrepreneur relationships, and 40+ year track record to originate deal flow. The firm maintains a decentralized operating model in which acquired companies retain their brand, leadership, and local autonomy while benefiting from shared M&A expertise, capital, and best practices across the platform.
