Membership of the Nederlandse Vereniging van Participatiemaatschappijen (NVP) (Dutch Private Equity and Venture Capital Association) is intended for investors that provide capital from pension funds and institutional investors via a fund to unlisted companies in the Netherlands.
The NVP represents 90% of the invested private equity and venture capital under management in the Netherlands. It has a variety of private equity and venture capital firms among its members, ranging from small funds to larger buy-outs with a focus on different funding phases and sectors.
