Active Support
High-growth founders supported by our organisational infrastructure.
Startups don't fail on idea.
They fail on structure.
Chaos isn't growth; it's a symptom of missing foundations. Readiness is the difference between a company that breaks and one that thrives under pressure.
Founder bottlenecks slowing down every decision.
Unclear ownership causing team confusion.
Early hires failing to scale with the company.
Reactive execution instead of proactive leadership.
Fundraising without a clear data narrative.

Our selection process is rigorous, ensuring that we only admit cohorts of founders who are ready for intensive operational support.

Why we do this?
Founders shouldn't spend 60% of their time fundraising during the critical foundation stage. This framework provides enough runway to focus on building.
SLIM Collaboration Subsidy.
Ready2Scale is enabled by the SLIM collaboration subsidy, a Dutch government initiative designed to foster innovation and learning within high-growth ecosystems.
Managed Governance
To simplify access, Quantify Group fully manages the subsidy lifecycle. While each startup registers individually, one cohort member is selected to act as the penholder.
The Penholder Role:
- • Acts as the formal legal & financial contact.
- • Receives 2.5% of the subsidy amount (paid by Quantify Group) for administrative representation.
- • Formal role only; execution risk remains with Quantify Group.
A separate agreement allocates the vast majority of execution and reporting liability to Quantify Group B.V.
Founder Benefits
- No costs for founders (fully subsidised)
- Zero administrative overhead for individual startups
- No compliance or reporting hassle for founders
- Expertly managed by Quantify Group operators
