Why Perennials?
How many successful impact-driven scale-ups in the Netherlands can you name by heart? A few may come to mind, but to build a sustainable and future-proof economy, we're going to need hundreds more mission-driven startups to break through.
Too many impact-driven initiatives end up wilted after just one year, resources empty, energy depleted. It's not easy to break new ground with a small team and limited resources.
That's why we're building a collective to support mission-driven startups from (pre)seed. Together, we help founders create the conditions for healthy growth. So they can become perennials that grow stronger year after year.
Because the solutions for a better future are out there. But in order to make a lasting impact, we need them to grow into healthy organisations with solid business models.
We're on a mission to help impact initiatives break through against all odds. Are you with us?

We support startups with senior expertise 🌳
At realistic rates, no equity
Business & operations expert
I thrive on the intersection of growth, operations and culture. As a former agency director at Momkai and Eidra, my strength is to turn strategic plans into tangible progress.
Over the years I guided start-ups and impact entrepreneurs through times of transition. From the core belief that structure brings calm, and calm creates new spaces for growth.

Brand & comms strategist
Limited resources require a creative approach. That's why I've been specialising in community building and low-budget marketing to help startups make more impact with less.
At Perennials, I leverage 14 years of experience working with mission-driven startups, tech communities TNW and Rockstart, and design agencies like Momkai and Verve.
