About
Brightlands Venture Partners is a venture capital firm in Limburg, with offices in Geleen and in Venlo. It invests seed to Series A capital, typically 250,000 to 2 million euros in a company, in European businesses working on health, agrifood and renewable chemistry. Its history runs back to Limburg Ventures, a regional fund set up in 2004 when the province had very little startup infrastructure, which was succeeded in 2014 by Chemelot Ventures. The firm now invests through several vehicles under the Brightlands name, among them the Brightlands Agrifood Fund, aimed specifically at companies connected to the Brightlands Campus Greenport Venlo, and BVP Fund IV, its currently active fund. The legal entity is Brightlands Venture Partners B.V. Its earlier web address, brightlandsventurepartners.com, now forwards to bvp.capital, where the firm publishes. It is a commercial investor dealing with company founders, not a public body or an advice service for individuals.

Seed, Series A · EUR 250,000 to EUR 2,000,000
Good to know
- Its stated cheque is 250,000 to 2 million euros at seed and Series A, so a later round is above what it describes.
- Some of its money sits in vehicles tied to Limburg and to the Brightlands campuses, so where a company is based can be part of the fit and not only its sector and stage.
- The firm publishes at bvp.capital. Its earlier domain forwards there rather than serving pages of its own.
