Venturelab North

VentureLab North is a business accelerator located in the Northern Netherlands for early-stage startups with a focus on innovation, a problem-solving mindset, and the desire to accelerate their idea. Our Business Development Program is a one-year course designed to provide aspiring entrepreneurs with the knowledge, skills, and tools they need to turn their innovative idea into a business plan. Participants receive hands-on workshops from experienced trainers, one-on-one mentoring from an individual mentor plus additional hours with expert coaches, and the chance to pitch their idea to a panel of experts three times across the year. Embedded within the entrepreneurship ecosystem of the north, VentureLab also runs the twice-yearly VentureLab Weekend and monthly VentureClasses. VentureLab Weekend is an intensive three-day business development pressure cooker event culminating in a pitch competition with prizes and networking opportunities. VentureClasses are free workshops run by talented entrepreneurs from the north and beyond looking at the special ingredients that took them from idea to success.
