About Investor Quarterly
Investor Quarterly is a recurring event specifically organized for private equity and venture capital firms within Greyt’s network. With inspiring speakers, we share insights on relevant topics and engage in discussions, both during and after the event. Our goal is to inspire and connect our network, which is why we keep the event intentionally small-scale and informal.
About the evening
The big takeaway of the evening? “It’s always the right time to expand to the U.S.” The Netherlands is uniquely positioned with bilingualism and a similar work culture, but experts emphasized that the U.S. is not a single market.
Key points from the discussion:
- The U.S. is made up of different markets with state-specific regulations on labor, taxes, and registration.
- Good preparation, resources, and focus are essential for success.
- Expansion is costly and requires a long-term strategy, especially with high personnel costs.
- Be prepared for the impact of tariffs—“Tariffs are the talk of the town,” said our panel.
Thanks to our incredible panelists—Willem Wolfs from TABS Inc., Wilfred de Wit from iBuyFlowers, and Marc ter Haar from AmCham—who shared invaluable insights.
