De Wereld van Vermaat is an entrepreneurial investment fund and family office of the Vermaat family, headquartered in the centre of Utrecht. The organisation operates across three investment verticals: real estate, through Bridges Real Estate; direct investment in growing companies, through Gate Invest; and fund interests, through M Eight. Paulman Investments serves as the operating company, while De Studio functions as an in-house marketing department responsible for creating experience across all investments and projects.
The structure is notable for its self-contained nature: the organisation describes itself as independent and keeps knowledge and expertise in-house across investment management, operations, and marketing. This integrated model is designed to support each part of the portfolio from a single base.
The culture is oriented around entrepreneurship, which the organisation describes as core to its identity. Teams work across disciplines - from deal-making and asset management to creative marketing - and the organisation places emphasis on collaboration, shared energy, and a competitive approach to its work. Its offices are based in the heart of Utrecht.
