Jos Houben

Soon after completing his studies at Nyenrode, Jos Houben orchestrated a management buy-in of a major medical publisher in 1986. And that’s how Jos came into contact with Holland Venture. More than 30 investments followed and among these, Jos was President and CEO of a publicly traded conglomerate that operated in the field of engineering and industrial services from 1988 to 1994, Industrieele Maatschappij NV. In 2000 Jos founded his private investment company Proclare and invested successfully in the public sector, including in the field of purchasing (NIC) and medical examinations (Argonaut Advies).

Jos: "Working with entrepreneurs is what fascinates me, provided they are reliable and offer sound work ethics. With our added value and money we can help them create value for all stakeholders. We are highly selective but we move fast once we are on board. We work side by side, even in the difficult times that could arise at any time.”
