About GrowthFactory
GrowthFactory’s Business Coaches bring razor sharp images of what is needed to grow a business. Our sustainable method for successful growth helps entrepreneurs multiply value in a focused way in every growth phase. Our method is called: the Entrepreneur’s Journey. Because entrepreneurship is a journey that you embark on with enthusiasm from the very beginning. We believe in entrepreneurs who grow from their passion. From that unique motive, owners build a valuable company that means something in euros, for their customers and for society. That is future-proof entrepreneurship. It’s how you make your value real.
Why a partnership with VU Entrepreneurship & Impact?
The Startup mentor training gives VU alumni the power and tools to guide enthusiastic, entrepreneurial students through the hectic process of starting a business. In 2 x 2 hours you get the basics of our coaching method for successful growth. With our Startup Toolkit you will bring starting entrepreneurs to the next phase of growth in a focused and effective way. This way you will contribute to our goal to increase the number of successful startups in the Netherlands (currently 90%* do not make it through the difficult startup phase). This is good for innovation in the Netherlands, our international trade position and employment.
VU alumni who have/get a taste for mentoring are invited to participate in the follow-up course Business Coaching Essentials. This course teaches you how to coach companies specifically through the phases after startup. It also ensures your sustainable development.
