Legal Guardian
henQCheck size: Up to €10M published initial ticket ceiling.
The official roster identifies Hein van den Hout as Legal Guardian. This is a fund team or operating role; no direct investment mandate or personal signing authority is inferred.
At firm level, henQ is aligned with back distinctive European B2B businesses and obsessed founders, investing in only about two companies per year and supporting capital-efficient growth. This is firm-level guidance, not an invented personal preference.
No personal pass list is public. Opportunities outside henQ's stated stages, sectors, geography or team criteria should be treated as lower fit rather than a confirmed personal rejection rule.
Lead with founder-market fit, the specific problem, differentiated product or technology, evidence of demand, market size, round stage and why the opportunity matches henQ's published focus. Address the role of Legal Guardian without assuming individual check authority.
