The Netherlands ecosystem, as we see it
The Netherlands has Europe's densest concentration of B2B SaaS founders per capita. Series A capital is widely available; the gap is at the scaling stage, where operating throughput becomes the binding constraint. As a Dutch-headquartered firm, we work locally and intensively with Randstad founders.
What we do here
For Netherlands-based founders past product-market fit, we deploy:
- Minority growth capital, structured in tranches against operating milestones, with founder-friendly term conventions (1× non-participating preference, broad-based weighted-average anti-dilution, board composition proportionate to ownership). See growth capital structure.
- Embedded engineering teams of 2–30 specialists deployed full-time, drawn from the Gateway Group operating organisation. See embedded engineering.
- GTM operating cadence - pipeline reviews, forecast hygiene, partnership development, enterprise procurement support - deployed as a function. See go-to-market foundations.
- Governance and reporting infrastructure sized for the next two operating stages, not the current one. See governance for scale.
- Strategic mentorship from named partners with direct operating experience in Benelux. See strategic mentorship.
