THIS SESSION WILL BE IN DUTCH
Once a month, PYM co-founder Frank van Beuningen hosts a get-together at his home in Amsterdam to bring together wealth holders. Each month, a speaker introduces a new topic worth exploring.
These meetings are by invitation only and open to private wealth holders. If you are interested in joining, please email us; also if you've joined Frank's Friday before. We have limited seats available, so without email confirmation you are not able to join.
On Friday, September 26, 'climate-obsessed' impact investor Siemon will share his story.
Would you like to join, but are you not available on September 26st? The next Frank's Fridays are on:
- October 31st
- November 28th

Who is Frank?
Frank is one of the founding fathers of impact investing in Europe after he first learned about it in the United States in the early 1990s. He now has a more than 30-year track record of investing his capital for good.
In 1994, he started Pymwymic, the “Put Your Money Where Your Meaning is Community”. Under his leadership, the first pioneers in impact investing brought Ben & Jerry’s to the Netherlands and invested in around fifty start-ups, including the disruptive FairPhone. Since 2017, the ever-growing cooperative of European investors has focused on regenerative agriculture and healthy food. The funds are managed in a Steward Ownership structure.
Frank has launched many other initiatives to develop impact investing in Europe. He is a founding member of the Donor Impact Invest Fund.
He continues to Put His Money Where His Mouth Is, as an investor and advisor in multiple impact enterprises and initiatives. His passion is sailing, and he loves nature.
What is PYM
PYM is an independent foundation that connects and guides wealth owners to invest their capital consciously for a better world. We are a peer-to-peer community of families, philanthropists, individual investors, family offices, and foundations.
We believe in the power of money as a force for good. That is why we promote listed and non-listed impact investing. You can invest successfully in businesses, directly or through funds, that have a purpose beyond profit.
We focus on investors in the Benelux, but we welcome everyone who shares our goals to join us.
