StartingUP

StartingUP

StartingUP is a podcast about the reality of building startups in the Dutch ecosystem. Hosted by founders who are in the trenches themselves, it focuses on the early stages of company building. The messy parts, the lessons, and the decisions that actually shape outcomes. Each episode features honest conversations with founders, operators, and investors across the Netherlands. The focus is not on polished success stories. It is on what founders are learning while they are still building. Fundraising struggles, product mistakes, hiring challenges, pivots, and the small decisions that compound over time. The goal is simple: create a platform where founders can share what they are figuring out so others can learn faster. StartingUP highlights startups emerging from the Dutch ecosystem. Amsterdam, Delft, Eindhoven, Utrecht, and beyond. From first-time founders to repeat builders, the conversations explore how companies actually get started, what breaks along the way, and what it takes to keep going. This is a podcast by founders, for founders. Real conversations about building companies from zero. No hindsight bias. Just the process of starting up.

StartingUP is the podcast for early-stage founders who want real answers, not generic advice.

Every episode, we sit down with founders, operators, and ecosystem experts to dig into the actual problems that come up when you're building: from finding your first customers to navigating co-founder dynamics, fundraising, hiring, and everything in between.

No gatekeeping. No fluff. Just the stuff that actually moves the needle.
