About Vincent

I am an investment professional with a background in private equity and venture capital, and currently Co-Founder of GOTA Ventures, an international FoodTech investment syndicate of 40+ investors from 12 countries. At GOTA, we have closed investments in Win-Win (cacao fermentation) and Farmless (carbon-negative protein fermentation), with a long-term goal to evolve into a €30–50m FoodTech VC fund.

Previously, I worked at H2 Equity Partners, a €1bn mid-market private equity fund, where I focused on hands-on value creation through buy-and-build strategies, operational improvements, and portfolio scaling. My experience spans deal sourcing, due diligence, execution, and portfolio management, combining rigorous financial analysis with deep exposure to FoodTech innovation and ingredient-driven opportunities.

I hold an MBA from IE Business School (Dean’s List, top 5%) and two MSc degrees in Quantitative Finance and Accountancy & Control from the University of Amsterdam.
