Since its founding in 2020, Marktlink Capital has raised over €3 billion in committed capital, almost entirely from Dutch entrepreneurs and high-net-worth families, and today employs around 70 specialists.

Marktlink Capital aims to become Europe’s leading private markets platform, scaling both organically and through M&A.
The European private wealth market for alternatives is growing rapidly, driven by demand from entrepreneurs and families for the kind of diversified, institutional-quality access to private markets historically reserved for large institutional investors.

Andrea Bertolini, Partner and Head of Financial Services at Inflexion, described Marktlink Capital as a platform built by entrepreneurs, for entrepreneurs — fostering a strong level of credibility and authenticity with its client base that is hard to replicate. He emphasised the significant European opportunity and Inflexion’s enthusiasm to support Hylke Hertoghs and the team as they continue to develop the platform and expand into new markets.
David Whileman, Head of Partnership Capital at Inflexion, framed the investment as the ideal use case for Inflexion’s Partnership Capital strategy — a founder-led platform with real momentum, where management want to retain control while bringing in a strategic partner to accelerate growth.
Hylke Hertoghs, Managing Partner at Marktlink Capital, highlighted the firm’s ambition to become the leading European platform in private markets, noting that Inflexion is the ideal partner for the next phase of growth.

The deal is expected to generate multiple synergies as Marktlink Capital scales across Europe — including cross-selling investment opportunities to an expanded client base, improved deal flow through combined networks, and operational efficiencies through shared infrastructure and economies of scale. Inflexion’s involvement is also expected to support strategic decision-making and operational standardisation as Marktlink Capital continues to consolidate the European private wealth alternatives market.
