Venture Capital Companies in The Netherlands

At Blanco, we develop technology for wealth and asset managers that automates the entire asset management process for them. And as a part of that, we're also working on innovative KYC technology that makes complex onboarding processes much easier, to be used by finacnial institutions in the broadset sense. And we're offering our clients far-reaching individual services in the field of legislation and regulations. As a fintech company, it might surprise you that we don't believe in tech only. We firmly believe in the symbiosis of man and machine: the best service is provided by combining the efficiency and cost savings that automation offers with the trust and empathy that the human factor brings. Blanco wants to ensure that regulated companies in general and asset managers in particular can once again fully focus on what ultimately matters: their customers. Blanco won the NRC Live Fintech Impact Award in 2018 and is nominated for the Sprout Challenger50 Award 2019. KBC Venture Fund and Dutch Founders Fund, among others, are participating in the 'startup turning-scaleup’.
