The Holland Startup Fund
The Holland Startup Fund invests in innovative software startups that are supervised by our own Startup Studio. In the lifecycle of these startups, the fund invests several times on the basis of predefined milestones such as validated market fit, successful pilot & first revenue streams.
Thanks to this unique method, the Holland Startups funds have a consistent deal flow of innovative Dutch software startups that grow faster & more efficiently with our proven method and have significantly less chance of failure than stand-alone startups
Each investment of the fund in the startups finances the runway up to the next milestone, up to the point where the startup is ready for Series A funding. During Series A funding, the fund makes an exit and the fund partners benefit from the proceeds of the sale.

Why invest in Holland Startup?
Focus on early phase
Holland Startup focuses on early stage investments. By investing from the start of the company when the valuation is still low, a high return can be achieved. The risk is managed through intensive guidance and staged investment decisions.
Spreading of risk
Studio guidance
All portfolio companies are guided by the Studio and our Community. This ensures fast and better development of the startup. Entrepreneurial coaching helps in personal development.
Data-driven unbiased decisions
Priority based on market risk
The guidance by the Studio ensures that startups first reduce the market risk, before expensive software development is carried out. Investment in the product is only made when this has been sufficiently demonstrated by means of market experiments.
Innovation & SDG goals
Entrepreneurs and startups are selected for innovation: realizing new applications of techniques to solve business problems or achieve SDG goals.

What does investing in the Holland Startup Fund II mean?
The mission of the fund
Investing in young growth companies, the so-called startups, gives aspiring entrepreneurs the opportunity to start a software company and thereby create the successes of tomorrow: That is our goal.
Holland Startup is very different from other investments such as real estate investments.
Successful Startups are characterized by a slow start, a middle stage of fast growth, and a long stage of further development and internationalization.
Once a startup has broken through and the turnover has become repetitive and predictable, the exit yield is the highest.
By standing at the base of new growth companies, to mitigate the start-up risk as much as possible, and Smart use of working capital can achieve a very high return.
