The latest book on talent mentions Graduate as an example of how experienced founders can help new entrepreneurs get started:

“Het Graduate Entrepreneur Fund mede opgericht door Michiel Muller van online supermarkt Picnic is een veel belovend voorbeeld. Deze organisatie financiert en begeleidt jaarlijks tientallen startups van jonge talenten.”

Graduate was founded by entrepreneurs who wanted to give back. With the preseed fund, run by 9 students, we support students and recent grads from the Erasmus University, TU Delft and Erasmus MC to grow their companies. We believe that by sparking a passion for entrepreneurship early, we can drive the innovations that make the world better.

Through our network of  alumni from TU Delft, Erasmus University and Erasmus MC, we support young founders with funding, guidance, and a community that helps them grow.

The recognition in this book is a reminder of why we started this initiative 4 years ago. It  emphasizes that supporting young entrepreneurs isn’t just important, it’s necessary. We're excited to keep building that future, together.
