Better together.

The partners supporting the community

The right partners open doors you can't open alone. Every founder hits walls. Complex deal terms. Capital that won't move fast enough. Talent you can't find. Markets you can't reach. We don't solve these with generic sponsors. We bring in partners who own a specific challenge and have earned the right to help our members move through it faster. We work with three kinds of partners, and every one of them is here for a single reason: they make scaling measurably easier for our members.

They own a scaling challenge area and provide access, advice, and knowledge to help our members scale faster.

Deloitte

Challenge Decision quality and corporate access

Deloitte helps founders make better decisions at every inflection point. As our transformation and AI partner, they connect our members to a global corporate client network, share decision-quality frameworks drawn from leaders who have scaled before, and bridge the gap between fast-moving scaleups and the corporates that will define their industries. The conviction is simple: corporates need the agility AI scaleups bring, and scaleups need the market access and expertise corporates hold. Deloitte sits in the middle and makes that exchange work.

Loyens & Loeff

Challenge Legal complexity and deal terms

Loyens & Loeff owns the legal complexity that comes with scaling. As one of the Benelux's leading independent law firms, they help founders navigate term sheets, funding rounds, international expansion, and the deal terms that can quietly cost you control of your company. When the stakes are highest, our members get direct access to lawyers who have closed these deals hundreds of times.

Rabobank

Challenge Local and international capital access

Rabobank opens access to capital, locally and internationally. With deep roots in the Dutch economy and a network that reaches across Europe, they help our members find the right growth financing at the right stage, from venture debt to corporate banking relationships that travel with you as you expand into new markets.

Booking.com

Challenge Talent and scaling at speed

Booking.com scaled from Amsterdam to one of the world's largest tech companies. As our talent partner, they share what that actually took: how to hire at speed, build engineering and product organisations that hold up under growth, and compete for the best people in the world from a base in the Netherlands. Few companies have walked this path. Our members learn directly from one that has.

Google

Challenge Building with AI

Google helps founders build with AI and keep pace with a technology that moves faster than most teams can track. As our AI partner, they bring engineers and product leaders into the community to run deep-dive sessions for founders and their leadership teams, put their experts on the platform for members to learn from directly, and join founder conversations as practitioners rather than sponsors. Few companies sit closer to where AI is actually being built. Our members get to learn from one that does.

They unlock insights and connectivity within a specific segment of our community.

Discord

Challenge Connecting the gaming ecosystem

With Discord, we're building a gaming circle for the most promising early-stage gaming scalers out of the Netherlands and Europe. The circle connects these founders to each other and to their peers in the US, where the gaming market runs deepest. Discord knows where gaming communities live and how they grow. Together we're giving Dutch gaming its own room to compare notes, share what works, and reach the players and partners that matter.

They bring deep expertise on the niche topics that block our members from scaling.

Ignite Group

Challenge Unlocking subsidies and grants

Ignite Group helps our members unlock the subsidies and grants that can fund the next stage of growth. Public funding is one of the most underused levers available to scaling companies, and the process is rarely straightforward. Ignite brings deep expertise in matching the right programmes to the right companies, so our members spend less time decoding application criteria and more time building.

Remote

Challenge International hiring and compliance

Remote owns the complexity that hits the moment a Dutch startup hires its first person abroad. Employment law, payroll, contractor risk, equity across borders — most founders work this out in real time and under pressure. As our global workforce partner, Remote brings deep expertise in employer of record, global payroll, and HR compliance, so members can hire the best people anywhere without the legal and operational drag that slows growth down. When your next hire is in another country, you don't have to figure it out alone.
