VLVenture Labs

We give you a company to build, and a team to build it with.

WHO WE ARE

We are pulling talented people out of their jobs and giving them a company to build.

A lot of people have what it takes to start something. They just don’t have an idea worth jumping for. Our AI scans thousands of papers to find the best opportunities, and we bring technical talent from universities like TU Delft together with operators and consultants to build them.

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR

We're looking for exceptional talent.

If you're an operator, a consultant, an ex-founder, a PhD or an ambitious graduate, you could be the missing piece in a great founding team.

We started Venture Labs because we think a lot of talent gets lost in corporate jobs, just like Simon van Teutem wrote in his book De Bermudadriehoek van talent. Meanwhile, a lot of people have the drive and talent to become entrepreneurs. We are trying to close that gap by offering an alternative career path.

When you apply, we help you find a co-founder match. After that, we look for problems to solve together and guide you through the first steps with our network of experts and angels. Our goal is to make startups happen that otherwise would not have existed.
