PROGRAMS

Discover the diverse range of programs UtrechtInc offers, each designed to support your startup journey, regardless of its current phase or your personal background.

We support three stages

  • If you are a scientist, researcher or doctor considering taking your research to the market, our free, online Ideation Program provide the information you need to prepare before turning your concept into a viable business.
  • For those ready to take action and launch, our Validation Programs provide guidance on market validation, helping you gain deeper insights into your user and customer base. Validation is the process of testing and proving that there is a market demand for your product or service. This involves gathering evidence and feedback from potential customers to demonstrate that the business idea is viable and has the potential to succeed. Validation helps startups minimize risks and make informed decisions by ensuring that you invest resources into products or services that meet real customer needs and preferences.
  • For established startups that have validated their ideas and are ready to start accelerating their sales and prepare for subsequent investment rounds, the Foundership Community is your ideal choice. The Foundership provides a community of over 30 startups, a membership packed with services, where you can continue to build and grow based on your validated insights.
