This year’s Selection Day was hosted once again 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 (deep)tech Dutch startups and scale-ups based on their innovative strength, team, and potential success in the US landscape. Joining the accelerator during its third cohort, the chosen companies have the opportunity to gain knowledge, insights, and connections crucial for expanding overseas.
The program will run from April to July 2025, and includes business trips to the UK and US, allowing the founders to tap into international communities. Through working sessions, networking events, and mentorship the program trains the founders in areas such as business modeling, fundraising and product development and scaling operations. The program’s week-long business trip to Los Angeles and San Francisco will provide invaluable exposure to two of the most dynamic startup hubs in the world.
