Aldebert Wiersinga

Aldebert Wiersinga is a co-founder and Managing Partner of Value Creation Capital (VCC), a Dutch venture capital firm founded in 2005 by a group of entrepreneurs from the ICT industry and based in Bilthoven, in the Utrecht region. He holds master's degrees in both Business Economics (MBA/MBI) and Informatics (Computer Science), a dual background he leans on heavily in a portfolio built around deep and high technology. He has been professionally active in the ICT/tech market since the early 1990s.

Wiersinga describes himself as an "investing entrepreneur." He started his first company in 1999 and achieved a successful exit at the end of 2004, before co-founding VCC in 2005. Over roughly two decades the firm has invested in 40+ technology companies with a focus on AI software and high-tech, and it markets a track record of multiple successful exits. His own emphasis is on "intrinsic and predictable value creation" — a disciplined, money-multiple approach to building durable B2B tech businesses rather than chasing outsized "unicorn" outcomes (the theme of his Dutch-language "At The Money" podcast appearance, titled roughly "We're not looking for the next unicorn").

At VCC, Wiersinga takes an unusually hands-on role, sitting on boards and advising founders directly. The firm's positioning centers on "smart money — that supports you also in difficult times," reflecting a belief that operational and network support, not just capital, differentiates an early-stage investor in deep tech. VCC has structured its activity around a series of thematic vehicles, including the TechNano Fund (2015), a Security of Things Fund (2016), a Deep Tech Seed Fund (2022), and the flagship VCC Deep Tech Fund, which completed later closings through mid-2025.

• Stage: Seed capital and Series A into B2B deep-tech companies, primarily in and around the Netherlands, with growth capital for scale-ups across Western Europe.
• Check size: Typically several hundred thousand to a few million euros per company (not officially published).
• Sectors: AI software and high-tech broadly — optics/photonics, nanotechnology, advanced sensing, robotics, extended reality, medical devices, cybersecurity and GRC/compliance, Industry 5.0, and quantum infrastructure. Organized around themes such as "Healthy Life," "Energy & Materials Reduction," and "Security & Safety."
• What makes them say yes: Intrinsic, predictable value creation and a clear, disciplined path to strong money multiples rather than speculative hypergrowth — in his words, "We are not looking for the new unicorn."
• Value-add: "Smart money" — active board seats, strategic support, industry expertise, and network access, explicitly including support "in difficult times."
