5SQUARE

Our mission is to grow medium-sized companies into great businesses that form the foundation of a strong Dutch economy. Not because we are idealists, but because this is what we are good at, what we enjoy most and what makes the biggest impact... In 2004, Remco van den Heuvel and Mark Gitsels - aged 30 and 34 - launched 5square by investing in and managing companies themselves. Not as a fund, but with their own money and at their own risk. The adventure began with Greve shoes. Our fifth fund has been active since 2020. We're a little older and wiser, but still adopt the same approach. Restructuring becomes transformation, smaller companies get bigger, the amounts invested increase. We celebrate successes and learn from mistakes. No longer with just 2 people, but a team of professionals with over 100 years of relevant experience between them. But the most important thing has never changed... We are therefore pursuing our dream of helping companies to successfully innovate, develop..
