Expedition Program
A one week taste of Amsterdam
One week opportunity
TNW’s softlanding expedition program is aimed at entrepreneurs who would like to explore the Amsterdam ecosystem. Based in the center of the city, hosting a buzzing community of startups and showing you the ins and outs of the network; Softlanding Expedition will help you gain the insights needed to take the decision whether to scale to Amsterdam or not.
What is it about?
With a 5-day program encompassing the key ingredients to understand the Dutch ecosystem, you will return home with a significant understanding of the opportunities here. The program will include introductions to corporates, investors and mentors, as well as networking, events and an intro to the social aspect of living in Amsterdam as well. We will visit multiple tech hubs, and successful entrepreneurs and discuss the financial, legal and practical aspects of moving here.
Join 20 international founders during this week, make connections for life and get a deep dive into Amsterdam before investing significant amounts of time and money into your business expansion.
Pricing
Unlike most other softlanding programs, facilitators, and VCs, we only charge a one-off price for our programs; thus, we don't take equity! That means you don't have to grant us any ownership or equity of your business when moving to Amsterdam, but instead, we ask for a straight fee.
For this cohort, the expedition program will cost €7.000 (exclusive of VAT), which includes a plethora of perks and benefits, such as:
- Ecosystem visits
- Training & Sessions
- Workspace
- Meals during the program
- Transport within Amsterdam during the program
- Events
