  Wij zijn actief op zoek naar bedrijven met groeipotentie die hulp kunnen gebruiken. We investeren in deze bedrijven met kapitaal en onze eigen mens- en denkkracht.
   
  WIE ZIJN WIJ
  Dockpoint is een organisatie die bestaat uit de combinatie van gedreven en succesvolle ondernemers. Samen goed voor tientallen jaren aan ervaring op het gebied van management, consultancy, ondernemerschap, private equity en/of finance. Professionals met een verschillende achtergrond, maar met een gedeelde passie voor ondernemingsvraagstukken.

  Dockpoint heeft zelf en via een netwerk van informals (allen succesvolle ondernemers) toegang tot kapitaal en investeert uiteraard zelf ook mee.


  ONZE AMBITIE
  Onze ambitie is om te investeren in bedrijven in een uitdagende situatie, met de doelstelling van effectief herstel en lange termijn groei

  We signaleren in de markt een grote behoefte aan kapitaal, maar banken die terughoudend zijn geworden. Bovendien heeft de crisis van de afgelopen jaren er bij veel bedrijven behoorlijk ingehakt.

  Verschillende en veelal ook goede bedrijven zijn daardoor in een 'kwart voor twaalf' situatie aanbeland. Waarin, als er niet wordt ingegrepen, eerder sprake is van structureel brandjes blussen dan van ondernemen met een visie.

  Ook in geval van grote veranderingen, bedrijfsopvolging, overgang naar een nieuwe fase of bedrijfsmodel is er vaak sprake van een uitdagende situatie waarin veel aspecten tegelijk gemanaged moeten worden.

  Wat extra hulp om weer succesvol te kunnen gaan ondernemen zit hem vaak niet alleen in een extra financiële injectie in het bedrijf, wij brengen:
  •	risicodragend kapitaal
  •	scherpe analyses en oplossingsrichtingen met focus
  •	ondernemerschap en management
  •	toegang tot marktkennis en netwerken
  •	plezier in het werk

  Alles gericht om op een no-nonsense manier een onderneming weer zo snel mogelijk on track te krijgen.

  Nieuwsgierig geworden? Vragen? Neem dan via onze website contact met ons op!

  The investment philosophy emphasizes conviction as the rarest and most critical resource in investing, advocating for an intuitive, artist-like approach rather than purely business-focused decisions. The strategy involves maniacal focus on the most important ventures while maintaining openness for serendipity and being willing to cut non-performing initiatives. The approach prefers building strong foundational businesses with low burn, small but effective teams, early paying customers, and options for profitability rather than aggressive hyper-growth without a solid base.

We are a venture capital and growth financing investor backed by Eneco (a leading Dutch utility) and look to work with start-ups and scale-ups throughout Europe. 

  At Eneco Ventures, we look for companies providing smart solutions, services and/or software that positively impact the energy transition. These companies typically are at their early growth stage, having shown they are now ready to scale with a business model that can impact the energy transition. We believe in the combination of innovative and ambitious entrepreneurs and Eneco Ventures as devoted strategic investor. As no single party can provide the innovation and acceleration that is needed alone, we can only succeed if we start connecting ambitions, ideas, technologies, people and companies.

  With our expertise, extensive network, resources and millions of customers in 5 countries we know how to support startups and accelerate their growth. Are you a start-up or scale-up with a smart concept at the crossroads of renewable energy, mobility or digital? Do you already have commercial traction, but also a desire to grow faster?

We believe seasoned entrepreneurs are best placed to identify the qualities of a founder in others and help them navigate the paths of commercialisation and hyper-growth. We are fully capitalised by fellow entrepreneurs who have all built successful companies as former founders, CEO’s and operators.
