I am an investor in private equity and some StartUp Plus companies which challenge
marketleaders by doing a better job.
Wingman Condoms;
www.wingmancondoms.com, better and easier. US distributor. No FDA approval yet.
Wingman was born out of personal frustration. Putting on a condom is far from sexy; it’s
a lot of fiddling around at the wrong time and it tends to decrease sensation. And how
can you be expected to keep your head cool in the heat of the moment and closely follow
all kinds of instructions? That’s why Wingman developed an entirely new condom that
does what it’s supposed to do without you noticing it’s even there.
•
Easier application
•
Even with 1 hand
•
Even in the dark
•
Thinnest condom out there
•
Soft and flexible
•Odourless
•
No hands-on contact
•
Always the right way up
•
No need to squeeze tip
Business interests:
www.smartcapitalnetwork.nl
Wingman → Birthcontrol → Condoms → Distribution.
Mondygo → travel online booking → investors / strategic partners.
Cheptaxis.nl → corporates who can lower the costs by investing in the website
Out of the three, Mondygo is mostly in need of capital.
Since it is not possible to just sell condoms in the United States, it would be highly
preciated to speak to a company who can arrange this for Wingman. Meeting Trojan
condoms and Concomdepot.com is requested.
Business purpose of the trade mission:
Seeking cooperation, markets and investors for all three.
- Mondygo, one stop online booking site, real Dynamic Packaging, white label possibilities. www.mondygo.nl Needs international expansion. Investors.
At www.Mondygo.nl all providers in one place can compared and booked. Mondygo is
the only website in the Netherlands where your traditional travel suppliers (Arke, Corendon etc) can be compared directly with combinations for instance flights (eg. Ryanair)
and hotels.
- CheapTaxis, transfer pre-booking site. www.cheaptaxis.nl Internationally present with
auction system to obtain trip data and lower average prices. Partnership or investors.
All 3 companies are co-owned by www.smartcapitalnetwork.nl.

The history of a very special family owned company: Gassan Diamonds
Gassan Diamonds is founded in October of 1946 by Mr. Samuel Gassan, and is located
the uilenburgerstraat in Amsterdam. The company’s activities included: diamond polishing, importing and exporting of rough and polished diamonds, and diamond jewelry,
both on a wholesale and retail level.
Gassan realizes the vital importance to the tourist aspect to the diamond industry. For
this reason the company introduced the Gassan Group. All the subsidiary companies of
Gassan are joined in this group. International attention for Amsterdam, City of Diamonds,
will attract more people to our factory and shops. The subsidiary companies of the Gassan Group are: Gassan Diamonds, Gassan Dam Square, Gassan Plaza and Gassan
Schiphol.
The company still concentrates primarily on diamond cutting, wholesaling and retailing
in set diamonds, loose polished diamonds, gold jewelry and watches. Gassan Diamonds
has a unique position within the diamond industry by introducing a new cut, the Gassan
121. Every year more than 400.000 tourists visit the historical diamond factory. During a
free guided tour multilingual staff explains the various stages of diamond polishing. They
observe craftsmen at work as they make ready-to-wear brilliants.
Business interests:
In general: watches, jewelery and diamants. Retail stores for jewellery, diamonds and
brand collection.
it is highly desirable to speak purchasing executives from major department stores,
such as; Macy’s, Kentshire Galleries and SAKS 5th avenue. Currently Gassan is already selling their products at Bloomingdales.
It is desirable to be in contact with the large jeweler chains or large jewelers.
In addition, we would like to meet the interesting major players in the tourism industry,
preferably large tour operators.
Networking, gaining experiences through networking. To get a better understanding of
the opportunities in the US.
A "standard" tour consist of a complimentary tour in a wide variety of languages, including Chinese and Japanese. A clear explanation by well trained staff as to where diamonds are found, how they are classified and polished is given to every individual group.
China has been an important market for Gassan for the travel industry: the company
works with most large tour operators offering tours at the Gassan diamond factory in
Amsterdam. For this purpose, and to provide after-sales service to foreign customers,
Gassan works with local representations in various countries, including in China. Therefore, contacts in the tour operator industry are vary valuable to us.
Gassan has recently started looking at opportunities to expand on the Chinese market
with sales of their diamonds and jewelry via retail and high-end department stores. The
company was in contact with Chow Tai Fook last year in Shanghai but this hasn’t led to
any collaboration yet. A company like Chow Tai Fook would open doors for us.

What is Greendeals? Why is it interesting? Why would you buy @ Greendeals. And
why invest in it?
Greendeals is a website for sustainable (green) and innovative products and services.
It`s an aggregator of products and their (price)information for the website visitors to
make good choices, about the products and where to buy these. What are Greendeals’
mission, vision and strategy?
The mission is to help people to make the right and easy sustainable choices for all
products and services they consume regularly, in order to make all individuals contribute to a sustainable, renewable and preservable planet. Why? Because the planet
needs change urgently: it runs out of water and energy and the CO2 footprint will
change our climate drastically soon! Meaning if we don’t change our (consumptive)
behavior now, our children and possibly also ourselves run into chaos and war.
Greendeals’ vision is that mind-set campaigns on certain sustainable topics do not
work and that behaviorally change is needed urgently. Therefore Greendeals is eager
to help all individuals soon with their choices on many consumptive products - via the
internet. Also in our vision, some stakeholders in these markets do not have sufficient
commercial internet skills.
Greendeals strategy is to aggregate as many products as possible (a). With all relevant
information presented clearly for consumers to make choices (b). When ordering products Greendeals will facilitate an online shopping bag and payment/ordersystem (c).
So, Let the green economy run!

PALI Group originates in livestock trading company Paridaans & Liebregts. Since its
founding in 1959 by Tiny Paridaans and Bert Liebregts, the family business has experienced the extensive integration of companies. Nowadays, alongside being a modern,
international livestock trading organisation, PALI Group is also a major veal meat producer with markets both inside and outside Europe.
Veal meat producer Vitelco is part of the PALI Group. Their mission: ‘To be the best partner for every link in the meat production chain’.
The client and consumers’ points of view are paramount in this: high-quality production
that is fast and easy to prepare.
Coldstore Vrieskade provides services for the food and beverage industry: storage,
(plate)freezing, tempering and packaging of meat products are our speciality.
Vrieskade is part of the PALI Group.
ROMPA Tanneries is a joint-venture founded by veal producer PALI Group and Rompa
Leather. The company continues the activities of Hulshof Royal Dutch Tanneries in Lichtenvoorde, the world’s greenest tannery.
PALI Group hereby takes the next step in the chain. Optimum control of the entire production chain demands a highly integrated structure. Everything from the purchase of
calves to their slaughter takes place under management of the family company. Vitelco,
part of the PALI Group, is one of the largest calf slaughterhouses in the world and provides calf skins that are a by-product of the slaughter process. Processing the fresh skins
into wet-blue in Lichtenvoorde avoids having to salt and then later de-salt them. This
saves costs and reduces the burden on the environment

Soon, Feraggio will officially launch in the Netherlands and Belgium. France and the
rest of Europe will follow soon and the ultimate goal is USA in autumn 2015. The best
ideas arise De Vries often out of frustration; “Look at AirBNB and Uber”. She and her
companion had trouble finding beautiful elegant shoes. Additionally, colors are often
sensitive to trends. When your favorite shoes are worn out, you can never buy the
same model again because the designer has created a new collection. In any case, never exactly the same color which you were so attached to. And ... why is there no ‘high
heel’ which you can wear a whole evening. Therefore Feraggio has been intensively
developing the ideal very high elegant heel for the last two years. Using technical “shoe
experts” and experienced designers. Available in 10 cm heel and 7.5 cm. We launch
with 16 colors and every season another4 colors. All colors are always in stock.

In order to launch Feraggio in the US, she is looking for a warehouse and PR and marketing related people to connect with. Meeting people from Bloomingdales, Barney’s
