About us

Two operators.
One platform for ecommerce.

DiVance Group was founded by Pieter and Rutger, two young operators who build and run ecommerce brands day-to-day. Backed by Foqus Invest, we're building the platform we wish we'd had ourselves.

The founders

Foqus Invest team meeting
Backed by

Foqus Invest.

DiVance is backed by Foqus Invest, a private equity fund that believes in operators building alongside operators. Foqus gives us the capital, knowledge and patience to build a real ecommerce group. Not a portfolio to flip, but a home for brands to compound.

Behind us sits a network of MBA-trained specialists across finance, legal, tech and track records: the kind of expertise consumer brands need to scale with confidence.

Why it matters for founders
  • Patient capital
    We're not buying to sell in three years. We're building for the long game.
  • Aligned incentives
    Built by operators, backed by patient capital. The people behind you have grown brands themselves.
  • Real firepower
    Meaningful capital behind every brand we back: for stock, marketing, and growth.
Why DiVance

The ecommerce group we wish we'd had ourselves.

Every ecommerce founder hits the same walls: operations, capital, hiring. DiVance exists to take that weight off the next generation of founders, with a team of operators who run brands themselves and a shared platform built specifically for consumer ecommerce.
