Verlinvest was founded by the Belgian families from AB InBev, hence their consumer focus. They invest globally in growth stage companies. So you could define them as a family office growth equity shop. It seems they did great investments (especially in India)and they recently booked a 50x return on a €50m investment in Oatly with their IPO. Mind that this is an outside in view…
