Get your impact venture ready for funding, growth and global impact

Your business is growing and you notice that more and more is being asked of you as a manager or CEO. It is time to take your team to a higher level; your agreements with suppliers and buyers need to be tightened; you need working capital, and there are a thousand more things you have to figure out. In this program, you’ll free yourself from the daily hustle and bustle. You will be working on your strategy and on all the skills you need to enter the next phase. You will work more efficiently and overcome your blind spots, to ensure your company is ready for growth. You won’t be doing this alone, but in a group of like-minded entrepreneurs.

ING supports entrepreneurs in the development of a sustainable future. This is part of the purpose of ING: Empowering people to stay a step ahead in life and in business. We also want to learn from the innovative business models that are being developed by these entrepreneurs. This helps ING to discover early on what the influence of these new business models is on our services. This is why the ING Netherlands Foundation is proud to support Impact Hub Amsterdams ‘Investment Ready Program’
