90 Dutch founders groomed for international growth through Techleap's Rise programme

For the Rise program, Techleap selects promising scaleups that generate turnover, can show at least 50% growth, are looking for capital, and want to grow further abroad. The program helps these ambitious companies in this crucial phase of their business by providing them access to an infrastructure in which they can learn and network. Leading experts like Corinne Vigreux from TomTom, Pieter van der Does from Adyen, Adriaan Mol from Mollie, Jitse Groen from Just Eat Takeaway, networks, and other resources help these entrepreneurs in their next step towards international growth. 

Successful tech scaleups such as ChannelEngine, Crisp, Fixico, Lepaya, Mapiq, TestGorilla, Sympower and Wonderflow have already benefited from the Rise program. The ten selected ambitious tech companies for Rise batch 10 are AgXeed, Bridgefund, CustomerGauge, Dytter, Nanny Nina, Orbisk, Settly, Spotr, Inbiome and Hyfen.

Tjarda Voorneman, Head of Programs - Rise at Techleap.nl, says: “With our Rise programme we want to advance the new champions of the Dutch tech sector. We are proud of the successes of the previous participating entrepreneurs and hope that they will serve as an example for the next generation.”
