Techleap.nl brings together tech entrepreneurs so they can help each other in tackling hypergrowth challenges. I am excited to be involved in their Rise programme.

Techleap.nl has helped us make meaningful connections and put us on a global platform to showcase our innovation, with success. We experienced first hand how they help bring people together to strengthen the Dutch startup ecosystem.

Through joining the Rise programme, we saw that the Techleap team made a lot of effort to find out about our business and come up with valuable insights and advice for us.

I believe that Techleap can make a difference and that’s the reason why myself and some of my colleagues decided to contribute our time to help scaleups in Holland to have the global impact that we’ve had with our own companies.
