NBI Investors is responsible for the management of MIF II. Within NBI Investors, Thijs Gitmans and Willem Poerink are fully dedicated to MIF II. MIF II sets itself apart from most other VC funds by closely cooperating with its partners. Through our Fund Committee, we provide access for our portfolio companies to the network and expertise of our partners. Each of the MIF II partners has appointed at least two members to this committee. These members all deal with innovation and venturing on a daily basis. The Fund Committee meets every three weeks to discuss dealflow, portfolio and market developments. For each opportunity MIF II investigates, a dedicated dealteam is formed, consisting of the Fund Manager and one or two members of the Fund Committee.
