Start your journey with us.

 

Are you a student and do you have a good idea? Great! Then you are at the right place. Below we will explain the process step by step.

We invest in
Students. It’s that simple.

We focus on students (graduates up to 4 years) with a scalable and innovative business idea.

Criteria

  • Business entity registered in the Netherlands (we can help you with that!)

  • Excellent team (at least 2 founders)

  • Validated problem you (aim to) solve

  • Pre-seed stage

Do you think you’re ready for this? Let’s go to the next step! We can get you funded within 1 or 2 months, depending on your progress.

Our Approach.

Step 1

Submit your pitch deck.

As a first step, you have to hand in your pitch deck. This deck should give us a first glimpse into your business idea. Tell us about your product or service, the team behind it, and of course, your business model.

Things we want to see in your deck:

  • Introduce your team and describe each member's experience, skills, and responsibilities. What is your team’s unfair advantage?

  • What is the problem your business is addressing and how do you solve it? Who are your customers?

  • What makes your solution different from the others? What makes you special?

  • Explain the market opportunity for your solution. Think of the TAM-SAM-SOM model

  • Who are your competitors and where do you place yourself among them?

  • Explain why you are looking for funding, how much you need, and how you are going to spend the money.

Step 2

Let’s Talk.

After reviewing your pitch deck, we will come back to you. If we are excited about your idea, the next step is to get to know you a little better. So let’s discuss your startup idea with a (online or offline) conversation and get the ball rolling!

Step 3

Time to pitch.

Now is your time to shine. You will have 10 minutes to pitch your business to the entire student board. After that, they will surely have some questions for you.

When we are happy with your answers, the real work starts! But don’t worry; we will help you every step of the way.

Step 4

Deep dive.

Oh, you’re good! We liked what we saw, but now it is time for the real work. Before we are able to really invest in you, we need to know all the details and find out how we can make this a success together.

We put your idea in our validation loop which consists of industry experts that can give us a good understanding about the feasibility of your idea and the next steps you can take with your business!

Step 5

Make the deal.

Now we will get down to the specifics: agreeing on deal terms, signing documents, and making sure that our partnership will be amazing! We set some milestones to help your startup grow even bigger and help you get a follow-up investment in the long run.

The deal is proposed to our Investment Committee, which will decide whether your company is ready for an investment.

Get Funded.

It is time to celebrate! Your business has the resources and network to grow as never before.

Together we will make your startup a great success.
