"The concept and speed of the programme makes it the best the Netherlands currently has. Connecting with experienced entrepreneurs and scaling experts is highly valuable. The Rise programme enabled us to get to the next level in our organization."

Me and my founding team experienced it as a great honor and super valuable to participate in the Rise program. It was super cool to be part of a group of talented fintech entrepreneurs who are more or less in the same stage as you. I particularly enjoyed the peer learning parts of the program where we would share challenges and help each other work through them. Also very cool to have "Scale-Icons" like Adriaan Mol and Ali Niqman visit. I can warmly recommend this program. 

“Rise has been worth every minute, and is truly one of the most grown-up programmes for start-ups & scale-ups. Here in The Netherlands we should definitely share and help each other more, and Rise is a big step towards such an open culture.”

"They say your networth is your network. Rise offered a curated group of excellent scale-up founders experiencing the same hardship and challenges in building a company. Having access to this 'exclusive' network of 1on1 peer support and scale icons is invaluable for scaling your company to the next level."

"You need to do your homework first, but if you know what you need, the Rise programme is the best thing that could ever happen to your business."

"The diversity of participants and experiences was what held the most value in the programme for me. Everyone runs into different things in their own space, but you can dilute them down to the same pure issues."

"I really liked the idea of being able to learn through the experiences of others. 90% of the challenges you go through as an entrepreneur are being experienced by your peers as well."

"We have applied for the Rise programme because we believe it’s one of the strongest and most sought-after Tech Accelerator Programmes out there. Being selected acts as a massive validation to both ourselves and our external stakeholders that we are being seen as one of the Netherlands' highest potential scaleups!"

Once you are selected you will meet your Batch manager who will onboard you for the programme and make sure you are aware of the resources and format that Techleap.nl can bring to you through out the course of Rise.  During a deep dive call, you will be challenged on your goals and approach in order to define better the scope and expectations of the Rise programme. 

Rise launches with a kick-off event where you will meet your peers and the team of experts who will be supporting you as well as how to best prepare and maximise on the programme. 

Network, discuss, get inspired, and gather actionable insights on your scaling challenges with special guests such as Pieter van der Does (Adyen), Michiel Muller (Picnic), or Steven Schuurman (Elastic) and much more. 

Our Entrepreneur-in-Residence will lead a CEO to CEO conversation with you and address bottlenecks on your scaling journey. 

We wrap up the programme by reflecting on our learnings, asking for connections for that next scaling step and celebrating our milestones since joining the programme.

By joining Rise, you will be onboarded in the BOLD community to stay in touch with other Dutch entrepreneurs.  You will have access to networking events, exclusive workshops, media partnerships, 1:1 meetings with scale experts among other great initiatives created by the BOLD team.
