Why

Our mission is clear: to support entrepreneurs and investors in advancing their companies to the next stage, whether through growth or succession. With years of experience working closely with SME entrepreneurs, we understand their mindset and the dynamics of this field. We see tremendous potential in numerous companies!

Some companies expand so rapidly that their internal structures fail to keep up with the increasing complexity, leading to a loss of momentum. Other companies experience a sudden decline in their growth; increasing bureaucracy and a less supported mission cause a loss of energy and focus.
At NextVenture we have the network and expertise to strengthen executive teams. Grounded in an entrepreneurial mindset, we ensure that the right director, in the right position, can make a difference and fully harness the potential of the company. Executive Search as a growth strategy.

We work closely with you to understand the culture and objectives of your organization. After a comprehensive search, we present qualified candidates who not only share your vision but also possess the qualifications to realize those objectives.
