Who We Are

Who We Are

  • TRACK RECORD
  • High calibre network
  • PASSIONATE & ENTREPRENEURIAL
  • Emotional intelligence

Middle 8 Capital represents a group of Acquisition Entrepreneurs with backgrounds ranging from CEOs and FDs to Private Equity and Management Consulting, with compelling track records across a variety of sectors.

 

Led by our two principals, Tim Lacey and Jeroen van den Berge, we invest in small businesses with great scale-up potential, to which we can provide financial capital, top talent, and a level of operational experience more usually reserved for blue chip corporates or Silicon Valley start-ups.

 

Middle 8 Capital’s Acquisition Entrepreneurs consist of experienced senior executives of the highest calibre, who will take C-level roles in investee companies they lead on.

 

We further benefit from the support of a wider network of top-level talent, from NEDs and Chairmen to functional experts, such as e-commerce, digital transformation and export specialists, all of whom have track records of delivering growth and significant shareholder value in SME, private and PE-backed environments. Additional expertise from the Middle 8 Capital network may also be brought into an investee business in a full-time, interim, board or consultancy capacity, as required.
