How we succeed


 
 

The Venlo model succeeds by merging a Berkshire Hathaway model with a VC Fund Incubator model, benefitting from the advantages of both without the disadvantages of either.

 

 

Berkshire Hathaway Model

 
 

Venlo provides shared services to each of the subsidiary businesses.


Allows businesses to concentrate on core products, services, customers and operations while taking care of back office and non-core functions.


Prioritising investments and reinvesting growing cash flows towards the highest opportunity set.


 

 

VC Fund Incubator Model

 

Replicates big tech

(e.g. Google Ventures / Y Combinator)

with internal start-up accelerator capability focusing on strategically aligned NPD, JV’s, industry & research partnerships, and new projects. Producing new high growth products and businesses akin to its own factory line of start-up businesses.
