We live in a world that has gone through an incredible transformation in the last decades. Those transformations did not only impact our economy, but also our society and biosphere. Our biggest challenge is to build back better those different layers while leaving no-one behind. That will entail rebuilding strongly the trust between the different generations, the societal entities, and the ecosystem. Healthcare is a critical component to ensure harmony for the Younger and next generation.
" Digitalization offers transformational economic opportunities and represents an outstanding platform for lower income economies to reposition themselves on the global stage. However, accessing and maximizing on the potential available to them requires that they think without a box , and we are here to support them in their journey" Patricia Monthe
I have been described as a visionary, with a leadership style combining cognitive pluralism and integrity, both of which make me particularly fit for environments that require pioneering new models or engaging multi-disciplinary & multicultural groups to orchestrate new systems.

4. For some consecutive years now, we have seen a steady
growth in the number of people who’ve had the guts
to quit their day-jobs and follow their dreams to create
something new: something that wasn’t there before and
that creates value for customers. The Corona-crisis we
currently find ourselves in has not dampened that trend.
Indeed, it has accelerated the growth trajectory of the
startup ecosystem towards maturity.
STARTUPS ARE HOT
In an ever-faster changing world, startups provide the speed and
flexibility required to find new solutions to societal issues – from
climate change to an aging population. New emerging technologies
offer possibilities for the introduction of new solutions and new
business models. Startups are not held back by organisational
processes designed for execution. Instead, they explore new
possibilities. They are not restricted by pre-existing, stone-aged ICT
infrastructure; they code from scratch. Perhaps most importantly of
all, they are not bound by the “that won’t work in our industry” or “we’ve
tried that before” culture of experience and are driven by an “can-do”
and “I’ll show you how” mentality that replaces it. This is why it is so
rewarding to work with and for startups.
Thousands of startups try; only a few succeed at making a real
difference. In 2018, all Brabant-based knowledge institutions and
regional development agencies joined forces to create a nurturing
environment for startups. Together, we can make a difference for these
startups by offering them facilities such as the Innovation Space at
the TU Eindhoven campus, providing pre-seed funding like the Brabant
Startup Fund loans and helping them with support programmes such
as Braventure’s Customer Validation Programme, as well as through
individual support from our business developers at the BOM, for
instance. But above all, we make a difference by forming communities
of like-minded startup founders. These founders exchange their

knowledge and networks and learn from each other. Fertile grounds
create stronger startups and improve the founders’ chances of
reaching their own goal of making a real impact. The success of our
collaborative efforts lies in the success of the startups.
This first edition of the Brabant startup book is dedicated to those
Brabant-based startup founders. We are proud of all this talent, who
play such an important role – for Brabant and beyond – in creating
much-needed solutions.
This book also hopes to inspire others. Are you looking to join a
startup? In search of good ideas? Or are you a corporate or government
organisation looking for new solutions? We hope this book helps you
find the right startups as a first step towards a fruitful collaboration.

LIGHTYEAR
Lightyear’s mission is clean mobility for everyone,
everywhere. To achieve this mission, the firm develops
solar cars that are as sustainable as possible, with
low energy consumption and a large range. Martijn
Lammers, Co-Founder and Chief Strategist, is concerned
with Lightyear’s current and future business models.
LIGHTYEAR
Tell us more about the team. We started Lightyear as 5 young guys -
Lex, Arjo, Koen, Qurein and I. We met at Eindhoven University of
Technology, when we participated in the Solar Team Eindhoven in
the World Solar Challenge. The team now consists of more than 120
extremely motivated people.
How did Lightyear start? We won the 5-seater solar car category of the
World Solar Challenge in 2013 and 2015. We started to realise that, with a
team of motivated people, you can make a real difference in the world. So
we started with a blank sheet of paper to see where we could make the
biggest difference with the passion and experience we had. We decided
to focus on the biggest problem we are facing right now: climate change.
And more specifically, pollution from road mobility.
What is your ultimate dream for the company? To make a significant
contribution to reducing C02 from passenger cars by developing and
marketing smarter, more energy-efficient and sustainable vehicles.
How does the city in which you are based play a role in the company’s
growth? We studied at Eindhoven University of Technology. The
companies, mindset, knowledge, talent and innovation in the area were –
and continue to be – major reasons behind our choice to be here.
Most valuable lesson learned
I have learned most from the various stages we have gone through as
an organisation. The hardest thing about achieving your goals, is getting
everyone around you on board. When you can’t get something off the
ground, it’s often tempting to think, ‘whatever, I’ll do it myself’. But it’s
exactly in those moments that you need to focus on getting the people
around you on the same page.

Team RenewCO2 facilitates the sustainable utilization
of carbon dioxide (CO2). Daan Spanjaards, student
of Mechanical Engineering at Technical University
Eindhoven, is the team lead for Team RenewCO2.
Daan is responsible for communications with external
partners.
TEAM RENEWCO2
Tell us about the team. Kylian Klein Hesseling and Kampen founded
RenewCO2 in 2018. Our current team consists of five students and is
supported by TU/e.
What is your ultimate dream for the company? Reducing CO2 emissions
alone is not enough. We need to turn CO2 to our advantage. CO2 is the
main issue of this century. But what if I were to tell you that this waste
product can be transformed into a useful substance? At team Renew
CO2, we are developing a system that transforms CO2 into formic acid
by using sustainable energy.
How does the city in which you are developing play a role in the growth
of the startup? Eindhoven is the city of innovation, with an ecosystem
that enables us to get quick access to knowledge and opportunities.
For example, we are getting help from the TU/e Chemical Department
and the Innovation Space EPC, because our prototype is difficult to
build.
What are your biggest challenges at the moment? And what are the
most urgent of them? As for many people right now, our biggest
challenges are caused by the coronavirus. We are not allowed to enter
the lab, which makes building our prototype difficult. Also, hiring new
team members is becoming increasingly hard.
Most valuable lesson learned. You don’t need to reinvent the wheel. We
wasted half a year building our own 3D printer. From this, we learned
how to ask for help: you don’t need struggle to do everything on you
own. It is important to always keep the end goal in mind and not get
diverted too much.

SPARK
Rural Spark is the builder of an ecosystem for the
energy solutions of tomorrow: smartly distributed,
viable and sustainable. Harmen van Heist, founding
director of scaleup Rural Spark, is responsible for the
company’s financial sustainability, business innovation
and partnerships.
RURAL SPARK
The product is an Energy Kit that enables people to generate, use, store
and exchange energy. Rural Spark operates through an infrastructure
and ecosystem of systems and services, such as selling through local
distribution partners.
Tell us about your team. There are three founders: Marcel, Evan and
myself. Marcel is my brother, and we’ve both known Evan since we were
around six years old.
What is your ultimate dream for the company? Our goal is to become
one of the top 5 largest energy companies on the African continent,
which would enable us to provide long-term sustainable solutions.
Access to energy doesn’t just mean provide people with light; it also
means reducing the huge numbers of fossil-fuelled plants to meet the
growing energy demand.
What are your biggest challenges at the moment? The greatest
challenge – apart from travel restrictions due to Covid-19 – is financing
growth: both financing our own company and providing capital to
finance the growth of our distribution partners in Africa.
How does the city in which you are develop play a role in the growth
of Rural Spark? We’re very happy with the ecosystem provided by
BOM and Braventure. This really helps us find the right expertise and
support for different stages of growth. In addition, both are investors
in Rural Spark.
Most valuable lesson learned
Critically review your value proposition, the market and the market trends,
continually. Also, just make a start and do lots of pilots. The only way to
get true insight into how to transform society is by actually doing it.

Agroexact is an agro-proposition, helping farmers
achieve higher yields with fewer costs through
exact weather data. Sven Boogaard, co-founder at
Agroexact, focuses on the business side of the startup.
AGROEXACT
Please, tell us more about Agroexact. The biggest problem for any
farmer is achieving a healthy margin. Climate change, together with
strict and rapidly changing legislation, hampers this. AgroExact invests
in the construction of a nationwide monitoring network of weather
stations. Through its recommendations, the farmer can irrigate crops
the right amount, at the right time, and spray pesticides as effectively
as possible. This information enables the farmer to achieve a higher
yield with fewer costs in a more sustainable way.
How did your company originate? Our team consist of three co-
founders: Niek van Andel, Thomas Brocken and myself. The idea
started at a graduation party in 2015, where Niek told us he had built a
weather station in his backyard with a corresponding forecast website.
A lot of regional farmers used his website for accurate weather
predictions. Two years later we found three farmers who were willing to
invest in our idea.
What are your biggest challenges at the moment? The biggest
challenge now is to reach startup lifecycle three: scaling. For this, we
are experimenting a lot to find out what works best. Our focus is now
on scaling up and selling the product.
Does the city in which you are developing your startup play a role
in its growth? We are located in the JAM factory in Den Bosch. The
startups and scaleups there provide us with a lot of startup tips. Also,
the regional emphasis on agriculture is growing.
Most valuable lesson learned. Most startups spend all their time on
the product. This has been a pitfall for us as well. You need to put more
emphasis on the problem you’re solving and what added value you
bring to it.

The startup Grounded Food is synonymous with
balanced nutrition that is close to nature. Its ultimate
goal is to create worldwide awareness of the cassava
cracker. Tyra Koning, is co-founder of Grounded Food
and media student in Breda.
GROUNDED FOOD
Tell us about your team. I founded Grounded Food together with my
mother. My mother is responsible for production in Suriname and export
to Europe, and I am responsible for marketing and sales in Europe.
Grounded Food – cool. Tell us more! People have started to look at food
more consciously, which means the demand for superfoods and organic
products is increasing. You only need to look at the rising number of
vegans and vegetarians; the same goes for the organic sections of
supermarkets and healthfood stores. To respond to this, we introduced
the gluten-, lactose- and sugar-free cassava cracker. The cracker meets
various allergy, intolerance and dietary requirements and preferences. In
addition to introducing the cassava cracker to the EU, we also promote
healthy eating in Suriname.
How did your company originate? Grounded Food originated during
my BUAS Creative Business education in Breda. I enrolled in an
entrepreneurship course and while brainstorming, my mother and I came
up with Grounded Food.
What are your biggest challenges? Our biggest challenge is getting the
product into stores. Because our mission is to make people conscious of
the importance of healthy and balanced nutrition.
How does the city in which your startup is located play a role in
its growth? I live and study in Breda, so for me this is the most logical
place to find potential clients. Although I think that all the big cities play
a significant role in the path to increased awareness of a balanced life, of
which food is an essential part.
Most valuable lesson learned. I think that you learn from every mistake
you make. Good preparation, never quitting and believing in your product
are key.

Boosthie provides tasty, affordable and easy protein-
rich food. Hidde Westerweele is founder of Boosthie.
BOOSTHIE
Boosthie, sounds interesting. What do you do? In recent years, the
average Dutch person is consuming a lot more animal protein than
vegetable protein. Every now and then, we’ll try a soy burger. But
despite the negative consequences, we are still often choosing animal
protein. With Boosthie, I provide tasty, affordable and easy protein-rich
food with minimal impact on the earth and its inhabitants. I achieve
this by developing natural, protein-rich smoothies.
How did your company originate? The idea originated when I finished
a heavy workout and wanted to take on my protein in a healthy and
responsible way. The vegetable protein I bought to try did not live up
to my expectations. So I researched how others were going about
this problem and started to make smoothies with vegetable proteins
myself. Unfortunately, this did not work out. Thanks to a tip from my
former coach, I approached two food technologists to keep improving
the smoothies. As a participant on Braventure’s Customer Validation
Program, I was able to test out the idea.
What is your ultimate dream for the company? My biggest dream is to
sell Boosthie smoothies on a large scale, which will also improve the
ratio between vegetable and animal protein – and all that without a
bitter aftertaste.
What are your biggest challenges now? We now have four delicious
smoothies ready to hit the market. So I am currently looking for a
partner or investor to produce on a large scale so that we can lower the
cost price.
Most valuable lesson learned. I’ve learned two lessons:
1. As an entrepreneur, you should feel free to ask for help instead of
trying to do everything by yourself.
2. A customer’s opinion is worth a million dollars: talk to your
customers.

“Bring the restaurant
experience into your
home with a private
chef.”
INTERVIEW
/
CHEFSTBL
CHEFSTBL brings the dining-experience to people’s
homes. Kim van der Zande is founder and CEO of
CHEFSTBL. His role in the company spans product
development, finance and marketing, to cleaning the
office.
CHEFSTBL
Tell us about your team. I started this adventure together with my
co-founder, Bart. We recently hired our first employee.
How did your company originate? We came up with the idea of
CHEFSTBL in April 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. After the
closure of restaurants, we wanted to bring the dining-experience to
people’s homes. Chefs were already cooking at customers’ places, but
there was not yet a platform that facilitated the connection between
them. We built that platform and were online after six weeks.
What is your ultimate dream for the company? To conquer the world,
haha. We want to be the dominant party in Europe within a few years.
There is a large market abroad, where restaurants and bars are also
closing due to COVID-19 measures. Once our concept has been
properly set up in the Netherlands, we can copy and paste the concept
to holiday destinations in Europe, for example.
What phase are you currently in? I think we are still in the initial phase.
Although we have established that there is a market, our product is still
in its infancy in terms of development. We recently raised Starterslift
pre-seed funding.
What are your biggest challenges at the moment? The most pressing
challenge will always be our dependence on what is happening in the
world. An example is the reduced number of guests at home. We had
to deal with this flexibly and creatively. On top of this, we also face the
standard startup challenges.

Your Sport Pro is an online matchmaker for sporters
and trainers. Daan Hullegie, athlete and sports
entrepreneur, is the founder of Your Sport Pro. In
recent years, he has built up a large and solid network
of sports professionals – many of whom can also be
found on the Your Sport Pro platform, which is used by
consumers and businesses alike.
YOUR SPORT PRO
Tell us more about the team. I founded the company together with Evert
Harmeling. As CEO, I am primarily responsible for the overall business
case, organisation and relationship management (customers, partners and
investors). Whereas Evert – our CTO – monitors the technical processes.
How did Your Sport Pro originate? My background is in sports. While I was
working as a sports trainer during and after my studies, I was faced with
two main questions: how should you profile yourself as a trainer and how
do you get clients? Your Sport Pro was born out of my own frustrations
and challenges. After some of the coaches in my network joined, the
concept grew to become a professional platform. In 2016, I got top
specialists in the field involved and the initial investments were put down.
What is your ultimate dream for the company? It’s very cliché, but to make
the world a little better. When you consider the changes taking place in
the world right now, taking good care of ourselves becomes all the more
important.
How does the city in which you are developing your startup play a role in
its growth? With regional parties such as Braventure, Midpoint Brabant and
BOM in the Tilburg startup ecosystem, we have good access to knowledge
and services. We are also delighted that the province of Noord-Brabant
was one of our first investors through their Brabant Startup Fund (BSF).
Most valuable lesson learned. Determine your target group at an
early stage and test out your concept with them: make the necessary
adjustments to improve their experience – because it won’t be perfect.
And if it is, alarm bells should ring. In addition, maintaining your own focus
and following your heart is very important.

ARGALEO
Argaleo develops a 3D Digital Twin for Smart Cities:
a 3D city map viewed in a web application. Using this
3D dashboard and the data it displays, Argaleo can
perform analyses and predictions to provide insights
into societal themes such as liveability, sustainability,
mobility and health. Jeroen Steenbakkers is the
director and owner of Argaleo.
ARGALEO
Tell us about your team. I founded the company together with my co-
founder, Andre Sluyter. Andre was an acquaintance of mine, and I knew
he already had experience founding a large company.
What is your ultimate dream for the company? Our ultimate dream
is for our Digital Twin platform to be No. 1 in the Netherlands, and
maybe even abroad. Our product has reached a stage of maturity
whereby it is scalable, and some prominent customers are willing to
share our success story. The goal is to have most regional government
organisations – such as municipalities and provinces – but also private
businesses using our platform to solve societal challenges.
What are your biggest challenges at the moment? Obviously, no one
could have predicted a global pandemic. Still, we handled it creatively.
We face different challenges. Turning awareness into paid projects
demands a lot of patience, attention and creativity. The second
challenge lies in knowing the organisational challenges and internal
interests of governmental organisations.
How does the city in which you are located play a role in the startup’s
growth? Den Bosch plays an important role, it being the Data city of
the Netherlands. Our company is located in the Grasso – an IT & Data
community. This particular ecosystem supports our connection and
knowledge transfer with other organisations.
Most valuable lesson learned. What I’ve learned over time, is that things
never progress as fast as you want them to. Selling a product requires
a lot of patience, attention, flexibility and creativity.

Michelle Haak (Miesart) is responsible for the beautiful design and
production of this book. Mies, it is great to have you in our team, you’re
always welcome to join for lunch!
Eefje Versluijs and Rianne Jurriens wrote history: the first Braventure
students. You did an amazing job. No two ladies spoke to that many
startups in such a short time period: emailing, calling and interviewing
hundreds of startups in just a few weeks!
And off course we cannot forget our team members Yasmin and
Tiemen. We asked you to set up the project, gave you an impossible
deadline and you reached your goal. You rock.
Together, we are building the best entrepreneurial startup ecosystem
in Brabant. Please get involved and stay informed. And if you have the
guts, the brains and the perseverance: startup!
