What Foryard Ventures BV does

Foryard Ventures BV is a privately held Dutch holding company (Besloten Vennootschap) founded in 2014 and headquartered at Vlierweg 12, 1032 LG Amsterdam, with KvK number 64345637 and VAT number NL855625430B01. The company operates as a parent entity behind multiple "Social Enterprises" whose stated mission is to make capital distribution fairer and society more entrepreneurial. Its three wholly-owned operating subsidiaries are: Share Council, a blockchain-based platform enabling employees and investors to become co-owners via on-chain transactions; FORYARD Finance, which provides tax, structuring, and funding advisory to Dutch MKB (small and medium enterprise) clients; and FORYARD Tech, which delivers high-end PHP and JavaScript application development aimed at helping clients capture online revenue and efficiency.

Revenue mechanics are described as managed-services and subsidiary operations with no publicly disclosed pricing. The go-to-market motion is consultative and direct: a publicly accessible intro-call booking system routes prospective partners and funding conversations to the CEO, and each subsidiary maintains its own customer-acquisition touchpoint. Customer segmentation is hybrid, with a primary use-case segment of Social Enterprises seeking capital-distribution and co-ownership solutions, and a secondary size-tier segment of Dutch SMEs seeking tax, structuring, and funding advice. There are no named customer logos, no disclosed contracts, no awards, patents, certifications, or regulatory actions in the source data.

Leadership consists of a single identified executive, Quintus Willemse, who serves as Founder-CEO. The company is founder-led with no disclosed institutional or private-equity backing, no parent entity, and no public reporting. Source material indicates 11–50 employees distributed worldwide, an operating website dated 2014–2026, and active contact channels, but provides no revenue, funding, headcount-trend, or transaction-volume figures on which to base quantitative growth analysis.
