About us

We believe that the most sustainable companies of our time offer the solutions to our society’s biggest challenges. From the heart of Amsterdam, we invest in ambitious companies that can change the system. We

impact goals.

Rubio invests in companies with the potential to change the world for both People and Planet. We have invested in more than 30 companies and with €150 million under management, we are one of Europe’s largest

We value our differences - we know that having a diverse team brings out the best in each other. For example, we are proud of our equal representation of women and men within the team. We are curious to see how you can contribute to this with your values and ideas!
