“As a municipality we want to play a role in facilitating meaningful connections between innovative entrepreneurs and investors who can jointly make an impact in Rotterdam. Through our cooperation with Fundsup and InnovationQuarter we can offer entrepreneurs an instrument to present their innovation to investors and we help investors with a better picture of the investment opportunities in Rotterdam. In this way we stimulate the Rotterdam economy and employment.”

“Business angels are one of the largest providers of external capital during the early stages of the company's development. In addition to providing risk capital, a business angel also plays a role in mentoring, advising, establishing valuable contacts and other forms of non-financial added value. They typically act more anonymously and there are no solid lists of business angels as is the case for venture capitalists. It’s often difficult for entrepreneurs to get in touch with these investors. By using modern techniques such as matching applications, entrepreneurs and investors can find each other more easily”

“Although strides have been made in creating a perfect environment for Netherlands-based startups to grow, helping founders find investors remains one of the more complicated issues. Now with Fundsup, successful connections between young companies and investors can be made at an accelerated rate, providing startups with easier access to capital and subsequently driving innovation.”

“Simple to join, accessible and easy product to use. As a concept I love it because it allows founders to find relevant investors without the hassle, giving startups a confident feeling and an easier way in. The app also allows startups to focus on the more important processes of development. Looking forward to seeing what the future holds for us on Fundsup.”

“As a startup company that sees major possibilities in big data to create new revenue streams, we signed up with Fundsup because we believe that data matching can be more efficient and accurate when it comes to finding the right investment partners. We are excited to see if Fundsup is able to find these partners for our startup so we can expand our business. In 2017 we launched the City Challenge Amsterdam and now we are eager to conquer other European hot spots with these types of city games.”

“We decided to break off from the traditional fundraising process to try-out this new way of filtered introductions to a tailored network. We trust Fundsup to be able to offer a highly valuable time saving solution to meet our first layer of our Series A Investors”
