Job van der Voort
CEO & Co-founder
To stay focused, I prioritise (just) three things: building Remote, spending time with my family, and contributing to the Techleap community. It’s one of the few spaces where I find real ambition and impact — and where I can genuinely give back
Matthijs Welle
CEO & Co-founder
Being part of the Techleap community — from the Shine sessions to receiving the LET Award — has been deeply meaningful. I’ve gained a lot from the connections and am committed to giving back wherever I can.
Fabrizio Del Maffeo
CEO & Co-Founder
Deeptech silicon is capital intensive and difficult to scale, requiring specialized knowledge, connections and a focus on the future. We are grateful for Techleap’s support helping us navigate these complexities and boosting our visibility within the ecosystem.
Marjella Lecourt
CEO & Co-founder
After relocating back to the Netherlands, Techleap’s Founder Community and its Scaling Programme gave me a sense of connection and direction. It’s rare to find a founder community that combines ambition with genuine support.
Clare Jones
CEO
Techleap's community is a unique space to connect openly with founders and operators at the same stage. It's a safe space, where rigour and challenge is encouraged and welcomed, and we benefit hugely from being part of this community as we scale.
Zaky Prabowo
COO & Co-founder
Techleap’s Scaling programme gave me structure at a critical moment, and the community around it has stayed incredibly valuable. It’s rare to have access to this kind of scale-focused founder peer group
Piet Kerkhofs
COO & Co-founder
Joining Techleap’s programme helped us sharpen our scale strategy — the sessions with peers and the quality of expert feedback made a real difference. It’s a powerful platform for founders navigating fast growth
Rob van den Heuvel
Co-founder & CEO
The curation of the founder trip group alone brought enough value to make it worth joining, but even on top of that, you get to learn from and engage with exceptional founders and investors who really highlight the reach of Techleap's network

Question
Frequent Asked Question
Why is there a 2-seat minimum?
Techleap works best when multiple people from your company participate. A founder + CTO, CMO, or COO creates better conversations and stronger connections for everyone. Companies with 2+ active members get significantly more value—better discussions, more introductions, deeper relationships. If you're a solo founder reach out to nadia@techleap.nl to discuss your situation—we may have alternative options. We assess that case by case.
How do I get the most value from Connect?
Do I have to be based in the Netherlands?
Who else is in the community?
Is this a programme subsidized by the government?

winter Community gathering
What happens when Europe's leading AI founders meet enterprise CxOs? We brought together the founders from Europe's leading AI companies—Sana, Intercom, JetBrains, Hugging Face, Weaviate, n8n, Synthesia, and Miro—in roundtables with enterprise CxOs. No keynotes. No demos. Just honest conversation about the messy reality of AI adoption.
