YES!Delft
At YES!Delft, we help building tomorrow's leading tech firms. We do this by providing full-lifecycle support to our startups, creating connections between talented people and disruptive ideas, and face global challenges, together. A little bit of story: YES!Delft opened the doors to its first location in 2005 as one of the first tech incubators in the Netherlands - next to the campus of the Delft University of Technology. Today, we support and empower tech entrepreneurs to bring their disruptive tech innovation to the market as fast and as best as possible. Over the years we have built custom ecosystems. We provide startups with 360 degree support: custom startup programs, full-lifecycle services such as recruitment and funding, access to market and capital, and a community of experts, corporate partners and mentors.How do we differentiate ourselves? We support entrepreneurs who build complex products (both hardware and digital) in challenging markets, often with a run-up time, long development trajectories and expensive prototyping involved. We take zero equity as we are a non-profit organisation. We believe that the entrepreneur comes first and we value quality over quantity.
