Brechje van Lokhorst:
"Even before officially joining ACC in February, I was invited to run the half-marathon in Egmond with them, marking the start of many upcoming challenges. From the beginning, I was assigned various tasks for both the deal and portfolio teams, and the flexibility in tackling assignments allowed me to think outside the box and be creative, which truly drives me. I quickly realized that an enthusiastic attitude is highly valued on this team, and I learned an incredible amount by working with colleagues who encouraged me to delve deeper into analyses. This experience wasn't just about work; the close-knit team was always eager to help, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to work directly with so many unique individuals."

Leo Ruben Reich
"Throughout my time at Active Capital Company, I’ve had the opportunity to work with a talented, motivated and collegial team. The internship took place in a dynamic and fast-paced environment where I had the opportunity to conduct extensive company and market analysis, obtain in-depth knowledge of the various phases of a private equity transaction and experience hands-on portfolio work. The insights I gained on the deal and portfolio side were immensely helpful in my professional development and will continue to guide me as I move forward in my career. I am truly grateful for all the guidance I have received and the lessons I have learnt from my colleagues through active participation in the team and many lively discussions."

Berend Vrancken Peeters
"During my recent internship I had the opportunity to work closely with the portfolio team. The hands-on approach of ACC provided me with the opportunity of joining multiple site visits and management meetings, which really contributed to my knowledge of portfolio management. ACC trusted me with a lot of responsibility, which increased my learning curve significantly. I would like to thank the team for the guidance, open culture and enjoyable experiences and wish them all the best for the future."

In my internship, I had the opportunity to work closely with the deal team and the portfolio team. The balance between deal and portfolio work gave great insight into the all-encompassing work of Private Equity, with a steep learning curve. I gained valuable investment experience by analyzing various investment opportunities and working on a live deal up to an advanced stage, going through every aspect of the deal process. Moreover, I was able to gain experience with hands-on portfolio work through weekly visits at one of the portfolio companies. I enjoyed being part of the open, highly skilled team. The supportive team creates opportunities to learn and grow, while being actively involved. I was thrilled to join the Communication Training with the whole team, enhancing my ability to recognize and adapt to diverse communication styles for smoother interactions. I would like to thank the team of Active Capital Company for the valuable and exciting time I had.

During my internship at Active Capital Company, I managed to achieve my personal objective of gaining first-hand experience in the Private Equity sector. Having had the opportunity to assist both the Deal and Portfolio Teams, I witnessed the rationale and complexities involved in the various phases of a Private Equity transaction. The exposure during this period has undoubtedly increased my understanding of the Private Equity landscape. In addition to the substantial learning curve during this experience, I am also thankful for the opportunity to have been part of a fun, professional, and hard-working team.

Gijs Bloemen:
During my three-month internship at Active Capital Company, I had the opportunity to learn a great deal about Private Equity and hands-on investing. Prior to this experience, my knowledge in these areas was quite limited. However, due to the collaborative and fast-paced environment of the teams in the Netherlands and Germany, I rapidly expanded my understanding of Private Equity. Apart from the steep learning curve, I had a great time in the Amsterdam office with this amazing, affectionate team, where there was always room for jokes and fun. In conclusion, my experience at Active Capital Company was complete in all aspects.

Sem de Boer:
Throughout my 4 months at Active Capital Company, I had the chance to explore the world of Private Equity. Initially, I joined the deal team, engaging with captivating deals and mastering the art of assessing them as potential investments. These months gave me the opportunity to work closely with the deal team on a live deal, providing exposure to every aspect of the deal process. Later, I collaborated with the portfolio team on company projects, feeling the entrepreneurial vibe during the regular company visits.

Being part of both the deal and portfolio team offers an experience that is invaluable for helping you to determine your specific interest within Finance. The consistent feedback and guidance from Active Capital Company steepened my learning curve, preparing me for a future career in Finance. In conclusion, the internship at Active Capital Company provides an amazing opportunity to gain hands-on experience in Private Equity while working with an exceptional team.
