Why Vortex?
The idea of starting a specialized investment firm originated in the years 2000. Dutch private equity firms largely overlooked the tech sector. We had a deep belief in the attractiveness of building an active and hands-on investing firm in tech and software. We saw its potential and built our firm around it.
