FAQ
We welcome startups and business development teams who are focused on knowledge-intensive projects. No matter your background or industry, if you have a validated idea (such as at least 30 interviews with potential customers for B2C, or 3 interviews for B2B), we encourage you to join us.
The workshops run on Fridays across the 4-months program. These sessions all take place at VentureLab North, Kadijk 4, Groningen.
As a solo founder, you can definitely apply for our programs. However, we place a high value on the strength and diversity of teams. Therefore, we encourage you to start searching for team members as soon as possible. We can help you in this by joining (our) talent matching events.
