Validation programs have a clear end point. The Foundership doesn’t. It’s a membership-based community built around the reality that post-validation growth is messy, non-linear, and deeply dependent on the right people around you.
You get access to expert training, a network of 100+ mentors, professional service partners and a community of 50+ fellow founders who are in the same phase – all for a flat monthly fee of €75 with no long-term commitment.

Meanwhile, our coworking spaces offers opportunities for collaboration and networking with a vibrant community of entrepreneurs.

Yes, as a single founder, you are allowed to apply to our programs. However, we are firm believers in strong and diverse teams, so we encourage you to start looking for team members as soon as possible. One of the ways we can help you is through our talent-matching events.
UtrechtInc does not invest itself in startups. We have a large network of formal and informal investors and we have a good understanding of the funding landscape.
The Foundership community activities take place at UtrechtInc and occasionally online. UtrechtInc is located at Utrecht Science Park. This is the largest science park in the Netherlands, with the highest concentration of knowledge institutions within a small surface area. Besides that, the Utrecht region has the highest density of startups per capita in the Netherlands.
Membership costs €75 per month, with no minimum commitment. You can cancel at any time. Some premium add-ons, as a dedicated office space, are charged separately on top of the base membership.
Unlike cohort-based accelerators, The Foundership is an ongoing membership with no demo day, no equity taken, and no fixed end date. It is specifically built for founders in the Utrecht region who want long-term community access and on-demand support rather than a time-pressured sprint.
No. UtrechtInc does not take equity and does not invest directly in startups. The Foundership is a flat monthly membership fee. UtrechtInc does provide access to a curated investor network and helps founders navigate the Dutch and European funding landscape.
