De Wereld van Vermaat is an entrepreneurial investment fund and family office based in Utrecht, Netherlands. The firm deploys capital across three distinct asset classes through dedicated vehicles: Bridges Real Estate focuses on promising real estate opportunities, Gate Invest is an investment fund targeting growing companies, and M Eight invests in fund interests. The operating company, Paulman Investments, oversees the group's activities.
A notable structural feature is De Studio, an in-house marketing department responsible for creating experiences across all investments and projects. This vertical integration suggests a value-creation approach where brand and marketing capabilities are embedded directly within the investment process, rather than outsourced.
