Reviewed8October2026. ECFG is the public group brand; exact fund manager ECFG Venture Capital B.V. is distinct from ECFG Finance & Growth B.V. and ECFG Investment Services B.V. Group staff and allied partners are scoped to the public group and do not assert employment by a particular subsidiary. Founding2007 is own history; first fund activity2008 is separate. Current directory contains13 named humans. Historical named staff and governance contacts are qualified by publication and current-tenure uncertainty; no departure dates inferred. Sophie Manigart’s dual board-chair appointment is explicit; Miriam Dragstra, Godfried de Jongh and Ronald Slaats are named collaborators but exact individual board assignments remain unpublished. Aron Vromans’ historical ECFG project-management/contact affiliation is held in the identity queue because existing canonical AronVromans has only BOM roster provenance and no recovered positive career or personalURL bridge; no unsafe merge or duplicate person is created. Existing Qlayers CFO Jonno van der Donk has primary biography evidence of earlier ECFG investment-management work, but exact dates are unverified and that existing biography is preserved. Fund III EUR40m September16,2024 is one achieved close of the2023-launched vehicle; first close August30,2023 and historical fundraising targets are milestones, not extra funds. Own fund tables call40m fund size; close release explicitly achieved40m. Historical FundsI/II start2008/2018 fall outside the recent-close window and are not created as new recent fund records. Fund III legal/KID date is not a close date. Qlayers2021 participation belongs to historical EVCFII, not VenturesIII: ticketNULL and unknownlead omitted, canonical round47387 retained. Qlayers2024 continued partnership alone proves no new ECFG cheque. Corporate-finance advisory transactions are not treated as cash investments. The27 own portfolio cards include exited companies; full-profile followup queue retains explicit exit and fund-category provenance before any future financing records.
