Sweav

We were featured by Tech.eu with our private equity dinner last week! This dinner is an important step into building the first private equity community in the Netherlands. This exclusive network brings together young, emerging leaders in private equity to share knowledge and advance collaboration in an informal setting. Thanks Cate Lawrence for highlighting us!

We hosted our first Private Equity dinner on Thursday, 3 October. We welcomed many operations and investment partners and directors from leading private equity firms in the Benelux like Parcom, Egeria, Torqx Capital Partners, Gimv and Mentha. In addition, six of our valued Sweav members - experienced in PMI, build and build, exit readiness and pricing - joined us for dinner. Curious?

A rhetorical question, really: do you want to be financially independent? Yet, when you ask a group of people whether they are truly financially independent, only a few can say wholeheartedly “yes”. Therefore, we invited Reinoud Haal (also a co-Sweaver) and Ties Klievink - Financial Life Planner, founders of North Financials to talk our members through the pitfalls and recommendations to take charge of their financial future as freelance entrepreneurs. Even though financial planning is very personal, here are our key take-aways: 🤒 Disability insurance (AOV): consider if you can bear the risk and insure what you need. 👵 Pension: start and make it part of your standard behavior. 💰 Assets in LLC (B.V.) or private: fiscal advice is key but there is more to consider. Also, keep track of changing regulations. ✝️ Will (testament): draw one up to minimize taxes and arrange preferred practicalities. Big thanks to all Sweavers for joining us. And shout out to Reinoud and Ties for diving into several financial planning strategies.

Entrepreneurship, freelancing and community -> when it all comes together What do the founder of Bloom & Wolf, the founder of Mock Flower (who recently got acquired by Bloom & Wolf), and Bloom & Wolf's Head of Operations have in common? They were, or are, all part of the Sweav network. 🌷 Gwen van de Pas, having a background at Bain & Company, first worked freelance before starting Bloom & Wolf. 💐 She hired Mirte Post - Brockmeier (ex Spring Associates) interim from the Sweav network, and then got her fulltime on board as Head of Operations. 🌻 Saskia Milsted (ex SparkOptimus) also worked freelance (via Sweav) while founding Mock Flower, and later decided to sell her company to Gwen. Great to see how freelancing, entrepreneurship and community can come together with this. We wish Gwen and Saskia all the best in their (future) entrepreneurial endeavors. #freelance #mergersandacquisitions #strategy #community #entrepreneurship
