Ruud and Jaap
EZ Boekhouding"The support from Tilburg University pried open our eyes in approaching our target group: don’t just show people the product, but also invite them to try it out. It may seem obvious, but somehow we were blind to it. The acquisition has improved significantly."

Ruud
JAMwerkt"The network is useful when, for example, you need legal advice on general terms and conditions or help with publicity. Above all, they held up a mirror to us, a critical eye to keep our impulsiveness in check."
