New Fastlane edition to boost the growth of your business

The Fastlane programme combines tailored guidance, personal coaching, and a network of world-class experts. Based on an intake, assessment and selection day, five companies will be selected to participate in the second edition. After each company has determined its own objectives for the programme, a custom plan is developed and implemented in six months in close cooperation with various experts. The ultimate goal is to be ready for the next investment round.

In the first edition, our experts helped the companies expand their team with a first senior hire, select the right market for (international) expansion and various financing issues.

Margot Vandevoort, Head of Operations & Finance at Willicroft: ‘The Fastlane programme has proved to be extremely valuable in the crucial phase of growth. We are better able to choose the right priorities and therefore grow more sustainably and faster.’

Anne Mieke van der Werf, business development director at Invest-NL: Over the past year, Fastlane has proven that it can provide entrepreneurs with the professional support they need to further scale up their businesses. Companies and entrepreneurs who are well-prepared with well thought-out business plans often gain faster access to financiers and/or investors. By supporting entrepreneurs in scaling up innovative solutions, Invest-NL is accelerating the transition towards a climate-neutral, circular food system, and making the Netherlands more sustainable and innovative.’
