Startups

Within the Market Impact programme, we support entrepreneurial students and researchers to market and finance innovative ideas. In doing so, we invest in four startups every year, with a total cohort of eight startups or NGOs per year. As these companies are set up by young entrepreneurs, they still have a lot to learn. On the one hand, this means that their ideas still need to be "pivoted" with regularity, but at the same time they are super-ambitious, open-minded and enthusiastic to work with!

Are your hands secretly starting to itch too, but are you getting slightly cold feet? Have no fear: you do not have to save the earth with your idea. What is important to us is that it tackles a legal or social problem. To get an idea of this, we introduce a number of startups that have gone before you. See below who we are currently actively supporting, and who we have mentored before.

We support these initiatives
