Per July 2nd, Mr. Radboud Dood of ‘Meesters van de Toekomst’ is available to participants in VentureLab Twente for questions on the funding of their companies in general, and Informal Investing specifically. Meesters van de Toekomst is a broker between entrepreneurs looking for funding on the one hand and ‘business angels’ looking for investment opportunities on the other hand.

A typical activity of Meesters van de Toekomst, is organizing specific meetings where capital-seeking entrepreneurs are brought together with individuals with capital (business angels) who want to provide startup capital for young companies and help them grow. These investments involve major decisions from both parties – they can be a high risk for the investor to take. This is why the plans presented at these meetings, have to meet very high demands. To learn what specifically is asked from the entrepreneurs, is for example an important purpose of the meetings at VentureLab Twente.

Every first Friday of the month from 13:30h-15:00h VentureLab participants will have the possibility to share their plans and financial request with Radboud. He will assess the current quality of the financial request and where possible will give advice on the further improvement of the plans.

Meesters van deToekomst is an initiative of Oost NV and Kennispark Twente.

Er is een nieuw artikel beschikbaar onder de references over deelnemer Rob Wermenbol en zijn succes met ‘layer manufacturing’. Ook de rol van VentureLab Twente wordt in het succesverhaal besproken.

On the surface these questions look simple, but the answers had big entrepreneurial implications to them and the way they manage the growth of Blue4Green.
