Amsterdam Startup Launch: Concluding Another Successful Cohort
We recently hosted the Final Day of the Amsterdam Startup Launch, marking the culmination of an intensive period of development for our latest group of entrepreneurs. After months of focused sessions and hard work, our eight participating teams presented their concepts to our audience and jury. The clarity and impact of the pitches were a clear reflection of the progress made during the program.
While every team leaves with valuable insights and new connections, we would like to highlight the startups that received special recognition this edition:
🥇 IncludeMe (by Smart Inclusion)
🥈 Runner-up: TRI-AGE (Helder Movement + Growth)
💎 Jury Favorites: IncludeMe, TRI-AGE, and Dairyfert. These "rough diamonds" have earned an exclusive 1-on-1 coffee session with our jurors to receive tailored advice for their next steps.

A program of this nature relies heavily on the expertise and commitment of our network. We want to express our sincere gratitude to our jury members: Ioannis Ioannidis, Tessa de Flines, and Teo Pazanin for providing the teams with constructive feedback, fair evaluations, and valuable industry insights.
We also extend our thanks to our partners, Roland Berger and Wintertaling, for their continued guidance and foundational support throughout the entire process.
To all our participating teams: Congratulations on completing the program. You are now officially Amsterdam Startup Launch Alumni. We look forward to following your continued development. 🎓
