We’re Techleap, a small organization on a big mission. We are here to elevate the Dutch tech startup and scale-up ecosystem to make it one of the best, globally! Our activities focus on helping founders scale, and scale fast: by building peer to peer communities, improving policy and facilitating targeted founder programs. Quite impactful and fulfilling as you can imagine. Techleap is a thought leader in the industry and an advocate for change on DEI in Tech with a recognized and well-established brand. Making full use of that brand awareness will help us to be successful in this new phase where we want to do more for the tech space, and become more entrepreneurial. Only then will we be properly positioned to make the impact on the ecosystem we envision for all years to come.
What will you do?
Techleap (a non-profit) can bank on a great and well-recognized brand - and uses it to the benefit of Dutch Tech. Over the coming years, we will commercialize our efforts more and more and be able to depend on subsidies less and less - especially when it comes to our community-building efforts. As a result, it will become more and more important for Techleap to become self-sustainable - raising private funds and creating partnerships. In order to do this effectively, we need to be able to tell these partners what it is that Techleap offers - meaning we need to have a clear value proposition and a strategy for communicating it.
We want to bring everything we do under that brand. If you were to draw a mindmap for all of those activities, you will find the vast majority is connected to “our MarCom Lead”.
