What is venture building?
According to the lifecycle model, every new company with an innovative concept – a startup – will go through four stages in its lifecycle, each of which feature a number of milestones. A company seeking to grow consistently and successfully must focus on the right milestones within each stage of its lifecycle.
Venture building is the support method in Brabant for startups, used to measure the stage in which your company is and then provide you with the best possible support as part of a network of partners that is fully equipped to get you from concept to scaleup.
Who could gain from venture building?
We support innovative startups seeking to expand and that have upscaling potential. We focus in particular on companies that make a contribution to sustainable food systems, a healthy future, climate neutral energy solutions, and promising key technologies. Depending on the lifecycle stage of your startup, we are able to assist with tools and programs tailored to your needs.
What’s the use of it
Our objective is to get your startup to the next stage, at the right time and in the right way, guaranteeing healthy growth. We provide insight into your current position and ensure you devote your energy and funds to the milestones that are necessary for consistent growth.
How do we do it?
We perform a scan of your company's current position to assess, using a questionnaire, which lifecycle stage you are currently in and what you need to progress.
Depending on the stage, one of the venture building network partners will support you through participating in one of the programs, developing a business case, or targeted investments.

2021 Startup Development Report
The fact that 95 percent of Dutch startups experience inconsistent growth means they develop at a slower pace than possible. This is just one of the facts gleaned from the 2021 Startup Development Report. Its authors have called for a greater focus on consistent growth in all aspects of business, from customer relationships to product development, the business model, and team growth.
