Digital backbone for Dutch healthcare
CareHub: Open ecosystem · 310% market growth · IRR >20%
Healthcare under pressure, time for a digital backbone
From healthcare crisis to the need for change
An aging population and staffing shortages are leading to 30-40% more healthcare demand by 2030 (source: RIVM Public Health Foresight Study). Wegiz/IZA mandates interoperability, but fragmented IT is causing rising wait times, workload, and costs.
CareHub: one ecosystem, less pressure, more care
An open ecosystem connecting 20-25 healthtech companies. Eliminates duplicate data entry with real-time data. Clients receive faster care and greater autonomy. Healthcare professionals experience 40-60% less administrative burden.
A fast-growing market demands scalable solutions

Focus on mental health, youth care, and elderly care where pressure is highest and the digital gap is largest.
Three-phase growth strategy
From the first five acquisitions to a complete ecosystem of 20-25 healthtech companies. Each phase builds on the previous one.
Laying the foundation

- NEN 7510 & ISO 27001 certification ecosystem-wide
- Achieve Wegiz compliance and data exchange
Target: €10-15M combined ARR
Scale & deepen
- Expand to 15-20 companies, with focus on AI and hybrid care
- Cross-selling within the ecosystem: serve existing clients with new solutions
- Care chain integration: from single care to full care chains (e.g. mental health referral to aftercare)
- EHDS readiness (European Health Data Space) as competitive advantage
Target: €40-60M combined ARR
Harvest & exit
- Complete ecosystem of 20-25 companies as an integrated healthtech group
- Market leadership position in Dutch digital healthcare
- Strategic exit via sale to a larger health-IT group, PE fund, or IPO
- IRR >20% for investors, lasting impact for healthcare
Target: Exit 2033, IRR >20%
How do we select acquisition targets?
Every acquisition is assessed against five criteria that together determine whether a company fits within the CareHub ecosystem and contributes to the long-term strategy.
Market position & product-market fit
Proven product with recurring revenue (SaaS/licence), active in mental health, youth care, or elderly care
Technical compatibility
API-first architecture, willingness to integrate with FHIR/HL7, no insurmountable technical debt
Cultural fit & founding team
Management stays involved, shared vision on open ecosystem and collaboration over competition
Financial health
Deal range €1-25M, profitable or clear path to profitability, healthy client retention
Compliance & ESG
NEN 7510 certified or willing to certify, GDPR-compliant, ESG-conscious
How do we manage risks?
A buy-and-build strategy in healthcare technology carries specific risks. Our approach minimises these through structure and experience.
Integration risk
60-70% of mergers fail due to poor integration (McKinsey & HBR). Our ecosystem model prevents this: companies retain their identity and client relationships, but connect via the CareHub layer. No disruptive migrations.
Regulatory risk
Wegiz and IZA are changing the playing field. We anticipate this: our FHIR/HL7 architecture is already Wegiz-compliant. Changing regulations are a risk for competitors, an opportunity for us.
Concentration risk
Diversification across 20-25 companies in multiple healthcare sectors (mental health, youth care, elderly care, long-term care). No single acquisition represents more than 15% of the ecosystem.
Cybersecurity & privacy
NEN 7510 and ISO 27001 as ecosystem-wide standards. Privacy-by-design in the CareHub architecture. Continuous monitoring and incident response protocol.
Our promise to healthcare
Healthcare is at a tipping point. While ageing populations and staff shortages increase the pressure, we believe that technology is not the cause of complexity, but the key to the solution. Our conviction: every healthcare professional and patient deserves a system that connects and supports, so that no one stands alone in healthcare.
That is why we build an open, interoperable healthcare hub. Together with strategic partners, we combine expertise in finance, technology and M&A to create an ecosystem that breaks through fragmentation. Real-time data, more efficient processes and personalised care. Not as empty promises, but as measurable results.
The result: a digital healthcare ecosystem that connects existing software, records and portals. By 2033, we support healthcare professionals and patients with seamless infrastructure, less administrative burden, and a future in which technology transforms lives.
“We believe that technology can make healthcare more human and sustainable. By reducing workload and improving quality.”
