This is Blackbase
A holding company with a core business in creating, acquiring and scaling companies through our hyper-effective vehicles.
What We Do
Blackbase Group is a Dutch holding company established in 2021 and headquartered in Zwolle, The Netherlands with a core specialty in building, acquiring and scaling companies. We are diversifying through the following activities.
We started by pioneering and building bootstrapped companies like Blue Shark and we will never stop doing it, because entrepreneurship is our DNA.
We are always open for new opportunities by adding problem solving, fast growing and profitable companies to our portfolio through an acquisition.
We’re planning to invest our company profits into other companies, real estate, crypto and stocks through our investment vehicle, Blackbase Capital B.V.
Do you have what it takes to be an entrepreneur? We are always looking for great operators we can place in one of our companies to start a partnership with.
Our roots are in eCommerce, so we never stop. 80% of our client roster are eCommerce companies and we continue by doing it ourselfs through various brands.
Trust
Every relationship starts and ends with trust. Either you gain it, or you break it.
Loyalty
No one can build with disloyal people. It's a two-way street. If you give it to us, you'll get it back.
Respect
Without respect there is nowhere to go. Respect for everyone you meet, no matter the hierarchy.
Our Core Principals
We build our companies through our philosophy focused along soft skills, because we believe in the fact that we can learn almost everyone the hard skills needed for the job, but soft skills go deeper. That’s your personality type, your morals, ethics and principles. You have what it takes, or you don’t.
For this reason we have only 3, but very important core principles for our employees, clients and partners that we inject in all our brands and companies; Trust, Loyalty & Respect.
The Effective and Unique Approach
We have an effective approach that let us start, build and scale new companies at a fast pace. Why? Because we believe in the lean and mean principle and are looking for opportunities that can be profitable from day 1. Beneath, you can see our approach in a nutshell.
Idea
All companies start with an idea that comes to our mind through extensive market research methods.
Product Market Fit
We'd like to validate a new idea as quickly as humanly possible, even before our development phase.
Development
If we think we have Product Market Fit, we'll arrange a team to develop the first concept of the idea.
Acquisition
First goal is to get traction, ASAP. We'll launch ads, deploy sales reps and structure a team from day 1.
Operations
The operating phase starts by hiring an operator who overseas the day-to-day operations.
Current Portfolio
''It's not about idea's. It's all about making idea's happen, and that's what we love doing.''
At Blackbase we are constantly looking for new opportunities we can capitalize on. Here, you’ll see our current portfolio with companies we’re operating or building right now. We are never finished building the dream and are always open for new, great ideas.
The 4 Pillars of 2024 & Beyond
Not to cut costs, but so we are able to enlarge our recruitment area and to live up with our modern society and offering a great benefit to our employees. We have an office, but we use that office as a hub for people to connect, socialize and work together when they want to.
Because we are building bootstrapped companies without acquiring capital or selling partial ownerhsip to PE firms we have to focus on profit first, so we can invest in our companies, the teams and new concepts to turbocharge our growth.
We believe in a new way of entrepreneurship without heavy, disfunctional teams. The core priority of our management is to build lean teams inside our portfolio who are able to run and operate companies on their own.
If you want to work or be associated with one of our companies, you’ll have to breath the fundamentals of our 3 core principles; Trust, Loyalty & Respect. If we can get people with the same principles in the same room, we can do excellent things together.
