This month, we were pleased to welcome two new colleagues to support the continued growth of Lexar. Jens Sauer, previously with McKinsey & Company, has joined us as an Investment Associate, while Thomas Archer, formerly of Emendo Capital, has commenced his role as an intern. We wish both Jens and Thomas the very best in their new positions and look forward to their contributions.

Technology investor Lexar Partners, based in Laren, has successfully raised €50 million for its first investment fund. The capital is committed by entrepreneurs, family offices, and an institutional investor. Founded in 2022 by Sander van Woerden and Max van de Blaak, Lexar invests in companies whose existence is driven by innovation and digitalisation in software, technology, and e-commerce sectors.

Lexar focusses on digital transformation that positively impacts how we live, work and make decisions. These are rapidly growing organizations with solid and proven market potential, exhibiting increasing recurring revenue and profitability.

Investment Strategy

Lexar’s investment strategy focuses on organisations transitioning from venture capital to private equity. These companies move from a typically riskier phase towards long-term stability or develop towards market dominance.

“Lexar prioritises companies that contribute to a better world, create good workplaces, and respect their environment,” the investor states.

Since its founding in 2022, the Lexar team has made six investments, of which five are from the first fund. These investments span various sectors, including the digitalisation of mental healthcare, education, and the fitness industry.
