The Hartenlust Group is an independent, self-funded investment company founded by Xeno Grimmelt and Jelle Elzinga – two friends who met at Nyenrode University over two decades ago. Their career paths have since then gone separate ways, both attaining specific knowledge in diverse professional fields. They’ve made a long treasured ambition come true founding the Hartenlust Group – where their passion for growth, creativity and entrepreneurship is at the heart of every action. With the Hartenlust Group, we focus on the development of medium-sized companies. By sharing our capital, acquired expertise and extensive network, we ensure the development of your business to result in optimal performance – or as we like to say; next level performance. Our entrepreneurial and corporate backgrounds combined cover both ends of a wide spectrum of expertise, allowing us to understand and to foresee the operational challenges in the process of expanding your company’s potential to its utmost.
