I've known Jeroen van der Es and Sebastiaan de Vries for years, long before Stekkies was what it is today. Watching the story unfold from that close, and getting to help write the final chapter together, made this one feel different.

Beekers Capital advised Dutch market leader in rental applicant solutions on their successful exit to Mediahuis nv

After a broad process that attracted overwhelming interest from across Europe, from private equity to listed strategics, Mediahuis emerged as the right home for this; strategically, culturally, and commercially. A media powerhouse with the platform to take Stekkies to the next level in the Netherlands.

What makes Stekkies special? An obsession with customer experience proven by insane customer referral rates, a product that kept getting sharper, and Philip's data-driven discipline that is the fundament for Stekkies's explosive growth.

Jeroen, Sebastiaan, and Philip Freeke thank you for the trust and the fun you brought to every step of this process. This is the exit you deserve. Congratulations. 🏆

Beekers Capital acted as exclusive financial advisor to Stekkies in this transaction. 

Thank you Wesley Kuiper (financial) and Maarten Tellegen (tech), and ofcourse Rik Beekers on the teamwork on this deal.

Extended shout out to Joël van Wijk and Dana Shadid from deBreij, and Mark Fennis from VanLoman Tax Lawyers for their great work on this deal.
