To kick off our series speaking with some big names in the Amsterdam startup world, who's better to talk to than StartupAmsterdam? They know the city and its startup scene inside out – you would hope so with a name like that!
In the episode, we get into why Amsterdam attracts so many entrepreneurs, why mentors are a vital lifeline for founders, the importance of getting the right investor, and everything that StartupAmsterdam does to help startups succeed.
Oakwell Hampton's very own Sales Manager Will Aldred was lucky enough to sit down with Dieter Oude Kotte (Lead International Business) and Alexandra Belicova (Partnerships & Events Lead) from StartupAmsterdam. They certainly know what they're talking about, and their passion for their city really shines through.
StartupAmsterdam is an action programme run by the City of Amsterdam that brings the public and private sectors together to support the startups, scale-ups, entrepreneurs and other players in the local ecosystem. By taking part in dozens of projects and initiatives promoting innovative and sustainable entrepreneurship, it’s helped the Dutch capital become a major player in the global scene.
