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 founders who are ready for intensive operational support.

SLIM subsidy overview.
The SLIM (Stimulering Leerlingweerbaarheid in het MKB) subsidy is a Dutch government initiative designed to empower Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) to invest in employee development and lifelong learning.
It provides crucial financial support for a range of activities including training programs, skills assessments, and the creation of comprehensive learning strategies. This ensures businesses can proactively future-proof their workforce and significantly enhance their competitive edge in the market.
