We provide coaching and capital
to the most promising early-stage disruptive startups
in The Netherlands.
We help startups reach profitable growth & financial independence and deliver investors more predictable startup success by applying deep expertise in the principles of disruption theory.
As such we deliver both coaching and capital at the early 'first-round valley-of-death' stage where it is needed most.
This is proving to be invaluable to start-up teams, and offers uniquely attractive opportunities to our community of informal investors.
Our Focus
We focus exclusively on ventures in the 'first-round valley-of-death', where the need for our kind of help is most acute.
Our integrated coaching + capital approach allows us to provide must-have professional support on the principles and application of disruption theory (based on the legacy of the late Harvard Professor Clayton Christensen), plus sufficient first-round equity funding to reach profitable growth and financial independence.
