Investors who build alongside

About Liven Invest Private equity, deal by deal. Housing, healthcare, circularity, raw material.
Deal by deal

We invest in founders who make the basics of daily life better, and build alongside them.

Liven Invest is a private equity firm that works deal by deal. Investors choose per holding whether to join. Every deal has its own company, its own security and its own reporting, so everyone knows where their capital sits and what each deal returns.

We work in four sectors: housing, healthcare, circularity and raw material. We look for companies with a proven product, a position of their own in the chain and a clear exit, led by founders who have use for a partner who brings more than money.

Connect

We start with the network: family offices, investors, municipalities, builders and partners. At Blue2Green that led to contracts with six of the seven Dutch university medical centres.

Position

We set brand, proposition and story so the company sells and attracts capital. Blue2Green went from waste processor to healthcare climate infrastructure.

Think alongside

We sit at the table with the founder on numbers and decisions, without taking their seat. At Blue2Green we have done so since the first conversations with the UMCs.

Invest

Only then capital, per deal, from Liven Invest Holding and with a fixed circle of families and entrepreneurs.

Our approach

We build alongside in the operation

Private equity earns less and less on structure and more and more on operations. That is where our work is. Around every holding we build an ecosystem of partners, municipalities, builders and capital. At Liven World that means the massing studies, the facade design by MVSA Architects and the roadmap with the municipality of Almere. At Blue2Green the healthcare chain and the investors who finance the second and third site.

Four questions for every deal
  1. Does it touch the basics of daily life?
  2. Does it strengthen the chain we are already in?
  3. Is there collateral?
  4. Is there an exit?

Collateral and exit give security to the investors who join per deal.

Investors come in per deal, with a capital call per holding and security on the company itself. Returns come from the growth and operations of the holding.

More than capital

At Blue2Green our work started with the network: the healthcare chain, family offices and investors. Then the positioning, from waste processor to healthcare climate infrastructure. Since the first conversations with the UMCs we have sat at the table with the founder on numbers and decisions. Capital came last. The line in Velsen-Noord has been running since October 2026.

Liven Invest in one sentence

Capital that builds alongside.

Deal by deal, with the founder at the table. A fixed share of Liven Invest Holding's profit goes to the Liven Foundation; the holdings and their investors stand apart from it.
