One of the top things that make entrepreneurship hard is when you lack a community of people who are all in the same boat. So, after years of working from cafe's, flex- and home office, Buster Franken and I deemed it the right time to take matter into our own hands and create a community of startup founders in Utrecht. Instead of an anonymous flex office or a co-working space, we want it to be a tight-knit group of people working seriously on their (impact) startups. Aside from work, there's also the important things that bring us together like shared lunches, drinks, community events and work-out sessions. The beautiful thing is that the community is for and by founders, where everyone will contribute to make it their own 🔥 Here's a video tour & intro: https://lnkd.in/ecvj88HZ (yes my face looks great on the thumbnail don't you think 🤣 ) Apply here: https://lnkd.in/efVF5Xm4 :) Even more info on the Notion page: https://lnkd.in/eEbyz5GX

Are Dutch and European founders not ambitious enough? 🤔 I just read Techleap's latest report: "AI Scaling Challenges for Dutch Founders." (Okay, I got AI to read it and share the highlights with me. 😜) This quote caught my (& Claude's) eye: "𝘞𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘥 𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘢𝘭 𝘪𝘧 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 4% 𝘰𝘧 𝘋𝘶𝘵𝘤𝘩 𝘈𝘐 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘴𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 10𝘔. 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘱𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘧𝘶𝘭 𝘢𝘮𝘣𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯..." Almost every day, I see posts and jokes about European founders thinking too small. As someone who works with Euro-founders everyday, I have a different view. I see: - Massive visions - Global mindsets from day one - Founders ready to take on the world It's not the founders who lack ambition. They're just working within the realms of what's possible in Europe. That's why many of them get funded from and/or move to the US. 💰 The real lack of ambition? That's from investors and governments in Europe. 🇪🇺 I'm still working on an article, "The Case for European Optimism." And I think it will show that European founders are just as ambitious as their US counterparts. The real question we should be asking is: - How can we create an environment that allows founders to dream bigger and reach higher? 🚀 And yes, I know this quotes mentions deep ecosystem issues... --- ↳ What's your take? Are European founders thinking too small, or is it the ecosystem that's holding them back? 👇

The Netherlands Consulate brought female founders to LA last week to share awesome elevator pitches as consumer product, media and social network entrepreneurs. We also shared insights on LA's business environment; and some of our favorite secret spots with them.   Many major differences in the business landscape here compared to European countries like the NL (or my native UK) reflect the sheer scale and financial firepower of LA, California and the US. The 2024 EU population is ~450m across 27 countries, vs. ~333m in the US alone. The valuation of Nvidia is about the same as that of the UK's entire FTSE 100. And the median salary in LA is ~$72k vs. ~$59k in London. This means in LA: 🚀 It can be expensive for EU companies to launch. 💸 Business valuations are significantly higher (7x European early stage) in the US, and in California vs. the US, so you can raise higher funding rounds. 💄  Consumer companies often charge more for products. 🎯 Antonia Tritthart helps LA businesses stay relevant by knowing their customers in target niches - this is made possible by the large consumer pool here. 🤗 Professionals in LA are pretty open to newcomers and mutual collaboration vs. Europe; I find it 10x easier to build community here than London.  😇 There are many funds, angel investors, communities and grants focused on underrepresented founders and investors (including women) in California. Thanks you Rachael Kim for organizing & moderating the panel, the Netherlands Consulate & the founders who pitched for the inspiration and goodies from all of the companies including Aroma Skincare Bon Ton Toys (B Corp) Female Leaders Club O My Bag Amsterdam Pasper B.V. ⭐ This Friday 12-3pm I'll be leading a meditation at The KINN in Venice Beach for their open Kinnship Day event, with yoga, an IR sauna, ice baths & a sustainable marketplace. The KINN is my favourite event space in LA for conscious entrepreneurship and launches 💫 #femalefounders #venicebeach

How to structure your venture studio SaaS portfolio company right from the start Venture studios are keen on creating SaaS portfolio companies. If structured right, SaaS companies can become profitable cash machines for venture studios. Combining fifteen years of experience with SaaS business models and researching venture builders for a PhD project, these are my five major learnings: 🔗As most SaaS products may be copied. Excellent distribution and long-term customer relationships are crucial. Long-term and strong relationships impact many important KPI's including ARR growth, Churn, NPS and eNPS. ➡️For venture studios, that means building on the existing network to creating legitimacy for the portfolio start-up. ---- 🚥A streamlined organization where everyone knows what to do makes recruiting during scaling much easier. Hiring too fast, before the need of more team members occurs, may hinder efficiency. Create job descriptions, routines and procedures for the organization open enough not risking losing founder mode. ➡️For venture studios, that means knowing what competence to look for in different states. Use accumulated knowledge timing and managing recruitment as best as possible. ---- 📈 Keep track on the blended CAC ratio. Inefficiency and high cost in acquiring new ARR will eat up your EBITDA margins. Most B2C SaaS gets scalable through higher numbers of customers. In B2B SaaS, expansion, cross-selling, and price increases are fundamental for fast growth. ➡️For venture studios, that means share customer databases, cross-sell as much as possible, and develop a value-based pricing structure as soon as possible. ---- 🔁 Having routines and procedures in place capitalizing from a management quality system (we used ISO) helps bringing your start-up from a healthy creative chaos to an efficient scale-up. ➡️For venture studios, that means creating a management quality system and put it in place in each portfolio company will help increase speed of development and growth. ---- 💻 An understanding that an intuitive and ‘friendly’ user interface with few bugs in the product, allow support and customer success to be part of the sales organization focusing on the core product, rather than being a business unit trying to help customers handle an in-efficient product to avoid churn. ➡️For venture studios, that means accumulate knowledge in software development in relation to user friendliness and learn from previous start-up attempts to avoid churn. From your experience, what other learnings should be added here? #venturestudio #venturebuilder #entrepreneurship #scaling #saas ________________________________ Did you like this post?

We made it to WIRED’s Top 10 Hottest Startups in Amsterdam! Being featured in #WiredMagazine isn’t just a milestone. It’s a moment that reminds me why we started this journey with 10x.Team in the first place. Enabling fractional talent to build their portfolio careers and connecting them with companies that are struggling to find the right people for their transformation and growth journey has been our mission from day one. Why? Because finding the perfect talent isn’t just hard—it’s often the difference between scaling up and staying stuck. And in a world where agility and adaptability are the new currency, fractional talent brings the fresh, on-demand expertise companies need to thrive. Timing is everything in the life of a founder, and this recognition shows we’re on the right path—at the right time. Check the Wired article here: https://lnkd.in/dNbn6DWc So, to all the talented professionals and companies who’ve believed in our vision, this is for you. Thank you Mobility Concept B.V., ParkBee, Talk360, Bijles Aan Huis, Van Lanschot Kempen and all our other customers who are walking the fractional life with us. And thank you Megan Carnegie for including my team and I for the second time in this list. Let’s keep pushing boundaries and proving that the future of work is flexible, dynamic, and limitless.

It’s always hard being a founder and running a company. But it’s been a tough year. No lie. Q1 nobody’s buying. Put us on back foot. Budgets didn’t increase or decreased. Spend on SaaS events seemingly down inline with software spend. Always feeling behind and late Pressure of delivering events felt harder. My dog and loyal companion of 12 years died. Second kid diagnosed with autism. Felt like one thing after the next. Sleep was shit. Almost felt like a year of what’s next? Yet: I felt these set of challenges made me and SaaStock stronger. USA event grew. SaaStock Europe experience improved and NPS up YoY. Lots of new client logos. Team stronger as a unit. Helped shape our focus for 2025 and beyond. Became a better dad and partner. Made some bigger bets for the company. We never gave up. Kept on keeping on and learning and improving as we go. Ready and better for 2025.

Why do so many neurodivergent adults thrive as freelancers and entrepreneurs, while they struggle in traditional work settings? 🧠 One of the first to research the relationship between entrepreneurship and neurodiversity - more specifically ADHD - is Ingrid Verheul, associate professor at the Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University. Last week I had the pleasure of giving a keynote on neurodiversity alongside Ingrid at the Corporate Venturing & Entrepreneurship Summit in Rotterdam. Here is what I learned from Ingrid about the link between ADHD and entrepreneurship - and why we both believe in the value of ‘blended talent’: 💡 How someone with ADHD may struggle in a traditional work setting Why have endless meetings when one can just act? For many individuals with ADHD, the conventional structures and processes of traditional workplaces can seem stifling and counterproductive. With a brain that is interest- and novelty-driven, they may find it challenging to conform to the sort of rigid schedules, pointless politics, and bureaucratic rigmarole that dominate traditional workplaces. Some find a way to turn their unconventional thinking into a strength at work. But all too often, individuals with ADHD feel misunderstood in work settings that prioritize conformity and consistency over flexibility and risk-taking. 💡 Why entrepreneurship aligns well with common ADHD strengths While every individual with ADHD is different, their ‘shortcomings’ in traditional work settings can be their strengths in entrepreneurial roles. Novelty-seeking. Risk-taking. The ability to improvize. All of these can be powerful entrepreneurial skills, especially in the early stages of building a new business or venture. In her research, Ingrid and her peers have found a positive association between hyperactivity and entrepreneurial orientation - and more specifically, with its proactive and risk-taking aspects. 💡 Why it is important not to romanticize ADHD entrepreneurship The life of an ADHD entrepreneur is not all sunshine and roses. And success is not guaranteed. As Ingrid points out in her work, success in entrepreneurship for people with ADHD depends on the right circumstances - such as having a supportive partner or business partner, and a degree of symptom severity that allows for the strengths of ADHD to shine without being overshadowed by its challenges. Entrepreneurs with ADHD may also struggle as they become successful and more managerial qualities are needed to structure, scale, and sustain their business. That’s why building entrepreneurial teams with complementary qualities - or what Ingrid calls ‘blended talent’ - is so important. It’s a lesson that corporates could take to heart as well: Rather than expecting every brain to be able to “do it all”, how much more impactful would teams be if we consciously designed them with complementary qualities in mind? #Neurodiversity #ADHD Photo (by Maurice de Rochemont): Ingrid Verheul and me.

Quick personal anecdote: I recently became the happy owner of my first apartment in Amsterdam. 🔑 As a homeowner, I couldn't wait to become a member of the HomeExchange community, which reminded me that they have been long-term customers of Livestorm. #Webinars are the cornerstone of their conversion strategy; every single new member is invited and qualified through Livestorm. I met Alice Lorenz, their CMO, this week to talk about their strategy, usage, what's working, and how we can help go above and beyond. Alice's team captures THOUSANDS of leads per month (proof that webinars can also be useful in a B2C environment, as long as there is volume) across different countries 🌍 The only way to push them down the funnel at scale is through webinars. Their conversion rate is insanely good; it's actually at the level of an average win rate on a B2B deal 🔥 They share customer stories, results, and financial incentives for leads to become paid members. It's just textbook best practices 👏 -- You can steal this and apply it to whatever business/use case: 1️⃣ Find a stream of audience that you need to convert (sell or train) at scale (1:1 would be inefficient time- and money-wise). 2️⃣ Set up a recurring webinar (same theme every week or month, depending on size) to push them down the funnel (e.g., create an account, have a call with someone, get a certification, apply for partnership, etc.). 3️⃣ Depending on size, take the delta that did not convert and invite them to a follow-up webinar or a 1:1 call. This should be about reassurance. 4️⃣ Repeat step 3 until you reach the end of the bell curve of conversions. -- Thank you again, Alice, for having me. I'm proud to be supporting such an amazing brand. 💙

We recently touched on how to pick the best European country to incorporate your startup. To continue that discussion, I’d like to tell you about a few European countries that offer residence permits through their Startup Visa programs. Here are some worth considering: 🇳🇱 1. Netherlands: Their program grants a one-year residence permit to startup founders, with the option to extend it later as a self-employed. To qualify, you need an innovative business plan and must work with a recognized facilitator, like a business incubator. I'll share some details with you later. 🇪🇪 2. Estonia: The Startup Visa allows entrepreneurs to develop their projects and hire foreign workers. To be eligible, your startup should show a high level of innovation and growth potential. 🇫🇮 3. Finland: They offer a Start-up Permit for foreign entrepreneurs, allowing them to work in Finland while building innovative projects. The application is assessed based on your business plan and growth potential. 🇵🇹 4. Portugal: With the Startup Visa program, founders get a residence permit to grow their projects in Portugal. Your project needs to be innovative and have the potential to create jobs. 🇪🇸 5. Spain: Spain’s "Entrepreneur Visa" program offers a residence permit for startup founders. Your startup should contribute to the country’s economy and be innovative. 🇫🇷 6. France: The French Tech Visa program is designed for startup founders, investors, and employees of tech companies. To qualify, you’ll need an innovative business plan and approval from the French Tech program. 🇱🇹 7. Lithuania: Lithuania’s Startup Visa is available for entrepreneurs looking to launch their innovative business in the country. You need to demonstrate both growth potential and an innovative business model. 🇮🇪 8. Ireland: The "Start-up Entrepreneur Programme" offers a residence permit to those who plan to invest in innovative business projects in Ireland. These are just a few countries with similar programs. Each has its own requirements for both the applicant and the startup, so be sure to do your research before applying. In my next post, I’ll dive into more countries offering these types of programs. If you have specific questions, feel free to ask in the comments! #venturecapital #startups #innovation #technology #founders #immigration #startupvisa

i almost went bankrupt 3 months ago. a year earlier, we raised €220,000 from angel investors in the netherlands. we used this money to build a great team, develop our first products, and grow our community. at one point, we’ve invested €150,000. then, we found out that one of our former investors couldn't fulfil his contract. we had only €10,000 left in the bank, with monthly expenses of €20,000. then two things happened in the same week that i’m really really grateful for: 1.⁠ ⁠after seeing one of our instagram reels, Max Klijnstra contacted me on linkedin. we met at our office around 9 pm and talked openly. i even showed him our bank account. he never had a meeting this transparant with a startup, he loved what we were building, especially our community of creators. i asked him directly, "why don't you invest? i have an open ticket." he shared two lessons that helped me a lot:   - "i can invest, but it won’t fix your main problem — you need clients. let me be your first."   - “you need to understand that this is a long-term game, a marathon. after talking to you for two hours, it feels like you think you’re running a marathon, but it’s friday night, you haven’t eaten. slow down.” 2.⁠ ⁠it's rare to find investors who want to invest at our stage. it's even rarer for them to sit with you every week for 1-2 hours, sharing their knowledge. Henk de Boer (one of our 3 investors) understands our vision and believes in it. when we asked if he wanted to fill the open investment, he said yes without hesitation. this saved us. in the last three months, we signed our first contract with launching customers, grown our community of storytellers, filmmakers, and creators to over 3,500. we now use our software to access first-party data from brands' social accounts. we identify which formats, styles, sentiments, and scripts work best. through our network, we produce high-quality, non-ugc content. making brand accounts more interesting to follow for their customers. thanks everyone who helped, we wouldn’t be here without you!

My name is Marjolein Aarten, I'm the co-founder and Executive Producer at KAOS Amsterdam. Starting today, I’ll be writing KAOS posts, straight from my producer's heart. Naturally, it will include our work, my thoughts as an Executive Producer, my coaching insights, the work of our KAOS members, BTS of KAOS productions, KAOS member takeovers, internal changes, and sometimes just a sneak peek into my E.P. brain! During my freelance career, the focus often revolved around meeting margin percentages. Many times, ‘okay’ was good enough, the goal wasn’t even to deliver the best product to their clients. I’ve never understood the mindset of production companies who were in this for the financial gains only, and missed the passion within their hearts as makers. As an Executive Producer, I aim to bring the right changes within our industry. I feel it’s my responsibility to create a positive change. This includes training a new generation of production assistants/production managers/producers, transparency, efficiency, quality over financial gains, being a role model, supporting our KAOS community (even if it's not our production), returning unused budget etc. etc. With my own production company I can make those changes, the way I’ve always imagined them. It’s quite a journey, not an easy one - but definitely worth it. See you next time!

It bothers me that here in the Netherlands, only 20% of startups manage to scale successfully. Compare that to the 60% in the US, and it’s clear—we have some catching up to do. Why is this happening? It’s not because European startups lack innovation or ambition. The challenge lies elsewhere: - A limited pool of top-tier talent makes it harder to scale. - Many organizations are stuck in traditional ways of working, resistant to embracing remote work - Let’s add to that that the traditional hiring methods are broken, and they are reluctant to try more flexible talent models. This reluctance is holding us back. In a global startup ecosystem, geographical limitations and rigid structures can no longer compete with the agility and scale of the US market. But here’s the good news: this is something we can change. The future of successful European startups lies in going global with talent. That means: - Leveraging fractional professionals—bringing in experts who can fill skill gaps without the overhead of full-time hires. - Moving beyond local limitations to adopt a global-first mindset. - Embracing remote work to tap into diverse, specialized talent pools. Scaling a startup is hard work, but it’s not impossible. By shifting how we approach talent and ways of working, we can create an ecosystem where more Dutch and European startups can soar and break through the scale-up ceiling. This is a challenge that at 10x.Team we’re committed to solving. It’s time to think bigger, work smarter, and build stronger. What do you think? #scalingup

Have you heard of The Offline Club? It's a digital detox hangout where people in Amsterdam reconnect in offline pop-up cafes. Taken from their Insta... "Dutchies swap screen time for real time 📵 They gather at offline hangouts hosted by @theoffline_club To unplug, recharge, talk to strangers, and get creative. It’s magical to experience the calm and cozy vibes, and beautiful to see strangers becoming friends 🥰 It’s OK to ‘switch off’ once in a while 😌" There is so much talk (and rightly so) about all the great things tech can do for us, humanity and the planet but it seems the more we jump up and down excitedly about technology, the more there is a counterbalance need to be human and completely off that technology. (Noting the irony of posting this on a social media platform) 😁 Jump on Instagram to learn a little more about the joys of The Offline Club.
