Rotterdam, 28 April 2025 – Clickdrive, a fast-growing mobility startup helping people obtain their driver's licenses faster, more affordably, and with greater flexibility, has secured €750,000 in seed funding. The round was led by Graduate Entrepreneur.
Clickdrive focuses on revolutionizing the driver education industry by making the licensing process faster, more affordable, and more flexible. Through its tech-driven platform, Clickdrive is growing rapidly nationwide, building a network of driving schools covering 92% of the Netherlands, and partnering with both independent instructors and major players like NXXT, DriveYou, and SoDrive.
In addition to serving students directly, Clickdrive offers a software solution that helps driving schools attract new customers and streamline their operations — allowing instructors to spend more time teaching and less time on administration. As a result, driving schools using Clickdrive earn on average 30% more, thanks to a combination of reduced time spent on customer acquisition and administrative tasks. This success is positioning Clickdrive as a key player in the Dutch mobility and edtech landscape.
Strategic Investment to Fuel Growth
The newly raised funds will be allocated towards solidifying Clickdrive’s position as the market leader in the Netherlands, expanding the team, further developing its software for driving schools, and preparing to launch internationally in markets — where the first partners already joined the platform.
“This investment marks a pivotal moment for Clickdrive as we double down on our mission to modernize driver education across Europe,” said Joost van Suijlekom, founder and CEO of Clickdrive. “With the support of Graduate Entrepreneur and our other partners, we’re excited to scale faster, grow our team, and empower more driving schools and their students through smart technology.”

Rui Li, investor at Graduate Entrepreneur: “We have been following Clickdrive for years via our Pre-Seed fund. Their proposition is simple, but not easy to do. The team has done a remarkable job by creating a win-win situation for the driving lesson’s community and has built their platform to scale.
