Techleap for Scaleups, on Monday, announced the list of 9 scale-ups selected for the 13th cohort of its flagship Rise programme.
The Rise programme
Each year, Techleap.nl selects some of the fast-growing Dutch startups for its Rise programme, which acts as a vehicle to build connections and access mentorship.
The organisations give the selected startups and scaleups the “best” learning and network infrastructure. The scaleups joining the Rise programme get access to leading experts, networks, and resources to learn from the best Dutch entrepreneurs.
Whether a scaleup is trying to go for a funding round or struggling with leadership, the Rise programme aims to be a one-stop solution to all the challenges.
Since its inception, participants have raised hundreds of millions in capital and expanded internationally. As these scaleups continue to grow in size and revenue, their innovations increasingly benefit society and bolster the economy.
What to expect?
The Rise programme consists of workshops and knowledge-sharing sessions where participants learn from each other to tackle key business challenges.
Special guests joining this batch include former LET Award winners Job van der Voort from Remote and Matthijs Welle from Mews, as well as LET nominee Jonas Ruyter from DataSnipper and Otto Verhage from TestGorilla.
Each Rise programme invites over 25+ figures from Techleap’s expert network of top operators and founders from companies like Adyen, Picnic, bunq, TomTom, Mollie, Crisp, Miro, Coolblue, and many more.
“The 13th cohort of the Rise programme once again brings together some of the most talented entrepreneurs who are making a difference in society with innovative tech solutions,” says Dylan Richts, Head of Community at Techleap.
“Previous participants have demonstrated that companies scale up faster when they tackle challenges together and share knowledge under the guidance of experts and experienced practitioners. Together, we are elevating the tech landscape in the Netherlands to a higher level,” adds Richts.
