They apply cutting edge technologies like artificial intelligence, virtual and augmented reality and quantum computing. Startups also create more jobs, are more productive, grow faster and inject flexibility and resilience into the labour market. When we talk about tech, startups, and innovation, we mean the new economy and our ability to keep up internationally. The good news is that the Netherlands continues to catch up with the larger startup ecosystems that surround it, punching above its weight in relative terms. As the fastest growing ecosystem, the Netherlands ranks 3rd in Europe in the Genome ranking of global startup ecosystems and 12th in the world. <strong>To play big in tech means to stay competitive. But the USA and China increasingly dominate the world economy. How can startups accelerate the Dutch tech scene?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-9f1qm-402673a14f9210ddda86b80e0e5b5c1a\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-9f1qm-402673a14f9210ddda86b80e0e5b5c1a{\nheight:50px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-9f1qm-402673a14f9210ddda86b80e0e5b5c1a hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-18  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lkzpxhy0-540a79f8681bbc8decc3b4aa17fca5a3 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h3>Challenge #1: startup\/scaleup conversion in the US is 3x higher compared to NL<\/h3>\n<p>Through the Covid-19 crisis, the number of startups in the Netherlands continued to grow at a steady 6%, to almost 10,000. However, we see that startups in the Netherlands face barriers to scale. One of our major challenges is that less than 2% of all tech ventures get to the scaleup phase with over \u20ac10M in funding. The number of companies that go from being a startup (\u20ac100,000 to \u20ac10M in investment) to a scaleup (\u20ac10M+ invested) is 16% in the Netherlands, this number in the US is a staggering 51%. The difference is further compounded when you look at the average deal size with the Netherlands at \u20ac5.9M, Europe at \u20ac7.5M, and the US at a staggering 23.4M. We continue to gain ground in key sectors such as Healthtech with \u20ac425M investment (in 2020) and 25% conversion and Fintech with 26% conversion. Important to note is that the startup\/scaleup conversion rate doesn\u2019t tell the whole story of the Dutch startup ecosystem, but we have emerging industries we can continue to strengthen.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-8y132-a00f5999103a802502b226f552652bb6 av_one_fifth  avia-builder-el-20  el_after_av_three_fifth  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_div  '     ><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-ll573zi7-19dfe329927cfd94359c045f3a8d0b69\">\n.avia-section.av-ll573zi7-19dfe329927cfd94359c045f3a8d0b69{\nbackground-color:#ffffff;\nbackground-image:unset;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div id='av_section_4'  class='avia-section av-ll573zi7-19dfe329927cfd94359c045f3a8d0b69 alternate_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-21  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_section  img-section avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-638'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<div  class='flex_column av-3wagum-90666a6410578085fe044a45a5e74ed4 av_one_fifth  avia-builder-el-22  el_before_av_three_fifth  avia-builder-el-first  first flex_column_div  '     ><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-3qtcee-19af8cc75bd27017c21453645f46e87e av_three_fifth  avia-builder-el-23  el_after_av_one_fifth  el_before_av_one_fifth  flex_column_div  '     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-3k6m9i-5a69105d278be23eef04530a542b529f\">\n.avia-image-container.av-3k6m9i-5a69105d278be23eef04530a542b529f img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-3k6m9i-5a69105d278be23eef04530a542b529f .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-3k6m9i-5a69105d278be23eef04530a542b529f av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-24  avia-builder-el-no-sibling '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-644 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-644 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/techleap.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/Percentage-startups-to-scaleup-in-the-Netherlands-versus-USA-America-1030x527.png\" alt='The number of startups that go from being a startup to a scaleup.

ecosystems despite a record investment year<\/h3>\n<p>In terms of investments, 2020 was another record year with over \u20ac1.8 billion raised by Dutch technology companies. Despite the record year, the Netherlands still can\u2019t compete with the larger ecosystems such as #1 UK (\u20ac14 billion). Also per capita, the Netherlands (\u20ac107) lags behind countries like Sweden (\u20ac289) and Finland (\u20ac189). In order to stay competitive, more capital is needed and ticket sizes must be increased. Also keeping funds raised in the country of origin is a challenge. Only 27% of the commitments to Venture Capital from Dutch LPs are to VC funds inside of the Netherlands, whereas in France and the UK this number is over 60% nationally. Another pressing issue is that the Netherlands lags behind Europe in Deep tech investments (investments in key technologies). Sadly with only 267M raised in 2020 the Netherlands sits at #7 in Europe, raising only 26% of what French deep tech companies raised. 2020 demonstrated the power of deep tech. Whether that\u2019s the first mNRA vaccine created or OpenAI releasing a language model using deep learning to produce human-like text. And 2021 is expected to produce many more of such breakthroughs.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-4g859q-43eea6802a856cf26751957300fcd854 av_one_fifth  avia-builder-el-40  el_after_av_three_fifth  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_div  '     ><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-46u1z2-1199f74e0cd53d233d610ca9646d9ce6\">\n.avia-section.av-46u1z2-1199f74e0cd53d233d610ca9646d9ce6{\nbackground-color:#ffffff;\nbackground-image:unset;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div id='av_section_8'  class='avia-section av-46u1z2-1199f74e0cd53d233d610ca9646d9ce6 alternate_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-41  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_section  img-section avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-638'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<div  class='flex_column av-emm1y-cfa19f9f177c6bbbe5ccb95abf6c4b6c av_one_fifth  avia-builder-el-42  el_before_av_three_fifth  avia-builder-el-first  first flex_column_div  '     ><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-3yv61i-b36d331f1385137f9e61c53d52b128a6 av_three_fifth  avia-builder-el-43  el_after_av_one_fifth  el_before_av_one_fifth  flex_column_div  '     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-ll57ccrq-4ecd8c5c65d337ded499c5edc6043c77\">\n.avia-image-container.av-ll57ccrq-4ecd8c5c65d337ded499c5edc6043c77 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-ll57ccrq-4ecd8c5c65d337ded499c5edc6043c77 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-ll57ccrq-4ecd8c5c65d337ded499c5edc6043c77 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-44  el_before_av_image  avia-builder-el-first '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-646 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-646 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/techleap.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/Startup-investments-Europe-uk-germany-france-sweden-netherlands-1030x633.png\" alt='Bar graph: Investments in billions of euros in 2020 per country in Europe.

To cover one area, the Netherlands has the highest number of male employees in relation to one female employee compared to the rest of Europe (4.9 in NL vs. 3.8 European average), especially when it comes to tech jobs (such as Software Engineer, Product Owner, and Growth Hacker). Research by McKinsey and others shows that a more diverse ecosystem is a more productive ecosystem. This is an important reason to promote equality, diversity, and inclusiveness. Ensuring diversity within companies remains a huge challenge in the Netherlands. The technology sector is predominantly white and male. Alongside this, we see only 12% of founders are female, with them receiving a meager 2% of all Dutch VC capital invested in NL, which also comes as no surprise when we see that 94% of Dutch partners at VCs are male. That means we\u2019re leaving a huge portion of the population at the table, and not utilizing all the talent the Netherlands has to offer. If we are to further compete on a European level, this needs to change and needs to change fast.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-2w0uja-a016c1744cf97e78ef07bd7f08968449
