1. General Notice
This website is operated by VDH Equity Ventures ("VDH"), a privately held investment vehicle incorporated in the Netherlands. The information on this website is published for general informational purposes only and is subject to change without notice.
This Disclaimer should be read together with our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, all of which govern your use of this website.
2. Regulatory Status
VDH Equity Ventures is not an authorised investment firm, asset management company, alternative investment fund manager (AIFM), or regulated financial services provider under:
- Dutch law — the Wet op het financieel toezicht (Wft — Financial Supervision Act);
- EU law — the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID II) or the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD);
- US federal or state securities laws; or
- any other national regulatory framework applicable to investment firms, fund managers or financial advisors.
VDH does not hold, and does not claim to hold, any regulatory licence, authorisation or registration in respect of investment management, financial advice, or the management or marketing of collective investment vehicles.
All investment activities undertaken by VDH are proprietary in nature — VDH invests solely its own capital and does not manage funds on behalf of third parties. As a result, VDH does not fall within the scope of regulated fund management or collective investment scheme activities under applicable law. This position may be subject to change, and VDH will keep its regulatory status under review.

- deal in any financial instrument; or
- engage VDH as an investment manager, advisor, or financial intermediary.
Any actual investment by VDH is made solely in VDH's own name and for VDH's own account, on the basis of separate, bilateral arrangements documented in bespoke legal agreements. Nothing on this website should be read as indicating the existence or terms of any such arrangement.
