TMA, a Dutch talent management software provider backed by Main Capital, has acquired BrainsFirst, a neuroscience-based cognitive assessment company. This marks TMA's second acquisition this month and fourth since Main Capital's December 2024 investment.

Based in Utrecht, TMA offers integrated talent management platforms for HR software clients. Founded in 2016 and located in Amsterdam, BrainsFirst provides game-powered cognitive assessments used for early talent identification, career mobility, and sports scouting across 12 countries.

The acquisition follows TMA's recent purchase of STYR and earlier acquisitions of US-based DecisionWise and French HMG in 2025. Charly Zwemstra, managing partner at Main Capital, emphasized the strategic and cultural alignment between the companies.
