Is this you?
We work with a selection process: not every application fits our focus or meets the program's requirements.
The Startup Visa program is designed for non-EU founders who want to build an innovative business in the Netherlands.
As a recognised facilitator, we support you throughout the first year.
From application to your first year
4 steps, from your application to your first year in the Netherlands.
Fill in the application form. Add your pitch deck and your plan.
We look at your idea, market, team and plan together.
If we are a good match, we agree how we work together. We help you prepare, so you know what is needed and when.
In your first year, you build your business here. We guide you and connect you with experts and partners.
We start with a document-based intake. This is followed by a conversation in which we take a close look at your proposition, market, team, planning, and overall feasibility. If we see a good match, we make agreements about guidance and communication. We then support you in preparing for the trajectory and make sure you know what is needed, and when.
