This year’s Selection Day was hosted by our Corporate Partner, De Brauw Blackstone Westbroek. We are excited to continue to work with De Brauw and, together with our other Corporate Partners, continue to support talented tech startup founders with their journey to US Market Entry.
The winning companies have been selected from many promising Dutch startups based on their innovative strength, team, and potential success in the US landscape. Joining the accelerator during its third cohort, the chosen startups have the opportunity to gain knowledge, insights, and connections crucial for expanding overseas.
