Imagine the possibility of building your legacy from scratch. To have the freedom to use technology to solve problems you think are worth solving. Use your technical insights to build a product and partner up with a business expert to make it successful. And that in a way that suits your interests, with like-minded people in a startup environment.

How great would it be to build on new technology and bring it to the next level? Think about using Predictive Modelling in order to detect fraud. Deploy Robotic Process Analysis to improve business performance. Or work with Blockchain Technology in the context of smart contracts.

We have the resources in place to guide you from step to step and get investors on board. With the right mindset and support of Holland Startup, you can build a sustainable business model that will disrupt the market.

A bit about Holland Startup…

Holland Startup, an Utrecht-based venture builder, was founded in 2014 to help young entrepreneurs succeed and overcome the pitfalls of venture building. Since then, we have become the specialist in the design, incubation, acceleration and active operational support of digital companies and their founders. Our core philosophy is “Enabling young entrepreneurs to shape our society”. For the next 5 years, we aim to help 50 entrepreneurs build 25 companies, focusing on themes such as a healthier society, an educated world, financial empowerment, and logistics. We love business models that are disruptive to stodgy old industries, or that are validated outside of Europe but not yet available in Europe. Since its inception in 2014, Holland Startup has invested in 8 startups and invested over EUR 1 million. We are a diverse, international team of 36, dedicated to finding repeatable and scalable business models that can change the world for the better!

The opportunity

As a co-founder, it will be your primary task to validate and build a startup. Holland Startup builds teams of two co-founders that validate and build startups using a standardized process, allowing us to move from ideation to scaling in 300 days. We offer:

  • A challenging, full-time (>40 hours) position as co-founder of a startup;
  • Ownership from scratch:
  • shaping and pivoting a high-level idea into an actual proof of concept and ultimately an MVP (minimal viable product);
  • A Research grant while building a startup;
  • An extensive network, access to relevant expertise and in-depth guidance;
  • Incorporating a company and getting backed by venture capital (and their support team) at Holland Startup;
  • A warm and vibrant startup community at our headquarters in Utrecht’s city center, where your startup will be based. We place trust and confidence in our co-founders.

What we are looking for

  • A great teammate: you flourish when you work in a competent and harmonious team. Your fellow co-founder is your partner in crime.
  • Entrepreneurial drive: recognizing market opportunities and considering them in a businesslike manner. You’re open, curious, investigative and you have a positive mindset. You’re willing to take on the role of a pioneer and explore unknown avenues to achieve business advantage;
  • Drafting and executing plans: hands-on and experience in handling projects independently is what defines you. You’re decisive and willing to act, but are always maintaining flexibility to adapt plans according to new insights, changing circumstances, tasks, responsibilities and people.
  • Networking: you’re naturally strong at building and maintaining relationships with partners and customers; you’re a people’s person and have excellent social skills to make effective use of informal networks;
  • Analytically strong: you’re a star at identifying problems, recognizing significant information, making connections between data, tracing possible causes of problems, investigating relevant data;Innovative thinking: you are visionary and not afraid to think big. It’s time to come up with some brand new ideas that can change the future!

Requirements

You have:

  • A technical background and good understanding of breakthrough technologies;
  • At least a Bachelor’s degree;
  • Fluent in English, written and spoken;
  • 3-7 years of relevant work experience;
