Verlinvest

Verlinvest is a global, family-owned evergreen investment company established in 1995, with a heritage linked to one of the world’s largest consumer businesses, including the AB-InBev brewery group. Verlinvest represents the investment vehicle of the de Mevius family. The firm specializes in partnering with visionary entrepreneurs to build category-defining consumer brands that drive positive social and economic change. Verlinvest manages approximately $2 billion in assets and operates from offices in Brussels, London, New York, Mumbai, and Singapore.

The company focuses on long-term, flexible capital investments primarily in growth-stage companies across sectors such as food, beverage & FMCG, health, consumer technology, and lifestyle. Verlinvest supports brands that are purpose-driven and have the potential to scale regionally and internationally. Its portfolio includes notable names like Oatly, Vita Coco, and Tony’s Chocolonely, among others.

Verlinvest’s investment philosophy centers on evergreen capital, meaning it maintains long-term holdings and exits investments only when returns are favorable. The firm invests typically between $20 million and $200 million per company, focusing on growth, platform, and venture strategies (the latter through its venture arm, V3 Ventures). It is committed to backing businesses that can lead consumer revolutions and promote sustainable consumption habits globally.
