Empowering scaleups with M&A and operational expertise

Scaling a tech company requires more than a great product — it demands operational excellence and a strategic approach to financing and transactions. Through this partnership, Deloitte will leverage its deep knowledge and experience in working with high-growth companies to support Dutch scaleups with:

• M&A guidance: Including company valuation, managing the M&A process, IPO readiness, and strategic deal-making.
• Business Operations advisory: Covering topics such as CFO services, financial control, cashflow management, risk & compliance strategy, and scalable company operations.

As part of this strategic collaboration, Deloitte will take a prominent role in multiple Techleap programmes and events throughout the year:

• Partner Programme for Founders and CXOs – As a core partner in Techleap’s curated Partner Programme for scaleup leaders, Deloitte will host three expert sessions focused on real-world challenges founders face in M&A and operational scaling. These sessions will offer deep-dive, hands-on learning opportunities for selected founders and CXOs and can be hosted at Deloitte’s Amsterdam office or another approved location.
• Summer Community Gathering – At Techleap’s community summer event, which brings together top scaleup founders, investors, and ecosystem partners, Deloitte will host an interactive breakout session. This session will explore best practices and pitfalls in areas such as preparing for acquisition, international expansion, and optimizing internal operations for growth.

Strengthening the Dutch tech ecosystem

Deloitte’s partnership with Techleap underscores a shared commitment to strengthening the foundation of the Dutch tech sector. By contributing domain expertise on the financial and operational building blocks of scaleup success, Deloitte will help founders move confidently through critical growth phases.
