Newion

Newion Investments B.V. is a venture capital firm based in Amsterdam, Netherlands, established in December 2000. It specializes in early-stage investments primarily in business-to-business software companies across North and West Europe, with a focus on the Benelux region. Newion avoids sectors such as retail, life sciences, and real estate, and does not invest in business-to-consumer companies. Its investment strategy includes direct equity stakes ranging from €0.25 million to €2.5 million, with a preference for minority stakes, although it may consider majority positions as well. The firm also invests in niche areas such as information and communication technology, cloud computing, and business intelligence. Newion supports its portfolio companies by providing non-Executive Board Members and interim Chief Financial Officers, and typically seeks to exit investments within five to seven years.
