Why we invest deal by deal, not through a fund
A blind pool asks for trust up front. A deal asks for proof every time. We choose the second.

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.
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.
We set brand, proposition and story so the company sells and attracts capital. Blue2Green went from waste processor to healthcare climate infrastructure.
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.
Only then capital, per deal, from Liven Invest Holding and with a fixed circle of families and entrepreneurs.
Blue2Green, Velsen-Noord. Image: EcosterylPrivate 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.
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.
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.

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.
Medical waste decontaminated instead of incinerated. Measure: tonnes of CO2 avoided per year, kilos of material recovered. Audit-grade, CSRD-ready.
Affordable housing, built twice as fast, with a plinth that makes a neighbourhood. Measure: homes delivered, build time per home, resident satisfaction.
Biobased building material from our own forest. Measure: hectares planted, cubic metres of timber per year, CO2 stored. What is not yet certified is called in verification.
A blind pool asks for trust up front. A deal asks for proof every time. We choose the second.
