Foreman was founded in 2005 by Arent Fock and Guido ter Kuile through the consolidation of the wealth they had accumulated through their entrepreneurial endeavors. Instead of investing other people's money, Foreman invests its own capital, resulting in the following fundamental aspects:
- 'together in it, together out of it'; entrepreneurs, like Foreman, risk their own capital, aligning their interests entirely
- sustainable value creation; having proprietary and permanent capital provides complete flexibility in terms of investment horizon and structure
- agility; quick and effective decision-making without the involvement of third parties
- discretion; Foreman values privacy and always operates outside the spotlight
So, a 'very private equity' approach that is particularly well-suited for entrepreneurs and family businesses in the next phase of their growth. Foreman has extensive experience in supporting owners and founders in transferring responsibilities to a new CEO and in strengthening the management team by bringing in new executives. The entrepreneurial background of the Foreman team contributes to our pragmatic and flexible culture, offers broad professional expertise, and provides access to a relevant network of relationships for the development of our portfolio companies.
