‘‘What’s one of my favorite things about being a part of the community of Startup Village Amsterdam? The impromptu invitations to chat with large groups of guests who are interested in what I’m building. Thanks Team Stratup Village for always knocking on my door for win-win situations, it is a treat speaking to groups!’’

‘‘What one month at the Startup Village Amsterdam Nursery did for our startup: 1. We finally launched our product to market. 2. We learned how to tell our startup story in a clearer, more authentic way. 3. We expanded our network and made valuable connections within the ecosystem . Together, Romain Wintgens, David Vendrell, and I have strengthened our leadership approach, operating more efficiently towards well-defined objectives.’’
