Mathijs Hut Programme Manager

B’WISE is the growth partner for ambitious startup founders. Whether you want to validate an idea or are already seeing initial traction: we help you purposefully build a startup that is ready for the next step.

Running a business rarely goes according to a set plan. You make choices with limited information, test assumptions and constantly adjust. It is precisely in that phase that you need people who think along with you, ask critical questions and can open doors.

B’WISE helps founders to purposefully take the next step. Together, we identify what your startup needs to grow further and connect the right knowledge, people and opportunities to it. You receive guidance from experienced business developers and access to relevant experts, investors, partners and other founders. Always focused on what will move you forward at that moment.

In doing so, we work, amongst other things, on the basis of the StartupFramework©. It helps us to determine where your startup is and which steps in that phase should be prioritised. This allows us to focus on the topics that can make a difference at that moment.

Through programmes, personal guidance and our ecosystem in West Brabant, we help you with topics such as validation, strategy, team development, go-to-market approach and raising finance. This enables you to make better-informed choices, learn more quickly and build a solid foundation for growth.

In doing so, we are close by when needed. Critical, honest, and focused on progress. So that you spend your time and energy on the choices that truly drive your startup forward.
