Bent u een ondernemer en wilt u meer weten over hoe een financiële investeerder of een kredietverstrekker naar uw onderneming kijkt? Dan is de Masterclass ‘Hoe kijken investeerders en kredietverstrekkers naar uw onderneming’ wellicht iets voor u.
Doel van de masterclass Het doel van de masterclass is om u te leren denken als een financiële investeerder en als kredietverstrekker. We willen u inzicht geven in de manier waarop een investeerder naar een onderneming kijkt en hoe zij de waarde van een onderneming bepalen. Ook leert u welke elementen cruciaal zijn bij de waardecreatie van uw onderneming. Daarnaast gaan we kijken naar de financierbaarheid van een onderneming en leren wij u te kijken door de bril van de financier (bankier). Deze inzichten kunnen u helpen bij het nemen van strategische beslissingen voor uw onderneming.
Programma Deze masterclass kunt u op verschillende momenten volgen. U heeft de keuze uit de volgende data en locaties:
Donderdag 26 september bij BDO Groningen 16.00 – 19.30 uur
Dinsdag 1 oktober bij BDO Zwolle 16.00 – 19.30 uur
Donderdag 3 oktober bij BDO Enschede 16.00 – 19.30 uur
Donderdag 10 oktober bij BDO Arnhem 16.00 – 19.30 uur
Het programma van de masterclass ‘Hoe kijken investeerders en kredietverstrekkers naar uw onderneming’ bestaat uit twee delen. In het eerste deel gaan we dieper in op bedrijfswaardering en waardecreatie. Hierbij komen verschillende methoden van bedrijfswaardering aan bod en leert u hoe u deze kunt toepassen op uw onderneming. In het tweede deel van de masterclass gaan we dieper in op de prijs van een investering en de financierbaarheid.
Aansluitend op de masterclass (vanaf 19.30 uur) zal er voor een buffet worden gezorgd. Dieetwensen kunt u bij de registratie vermelden.

exploring the next frontier in communication and computation
‘Quantum’. You’ve heard the word. From Marvel’s Ant-man to Google’s claims of supremacy, ‘quantum’ seems synonymous to ‘magic’, and it is transforming our technology day by day. Today, quantum computers have been developed with various types of qubits and the next quantum revolution lies in connecting these globally through an entanglement-based network – that is, ‘the quantum internet’. Just as the classical internet fundamentally altered our lived reality, the quantum internet could change the world in ways we’ve yet to conceive of. Game-changing applications we are working towards today include quantum communication, secured by the laws of the universe, and powerful networked quantum computing. The age of quantum has arrived and it’s here to stay, which again begs the question: What does ‘quantum’ mean? For our computers? For our internet? For us?
At the leading QuTech research institute in Delft, a diversity of experts is pioneering this new era. On September 16, in the Science Café, three of these experts – Tzula Propp, Wojciech Kozlowski, and Arian Stolk – will guide us through the various aspects of the quantum internet. Propp will introduce us to some foundational concepts of quantum mechanics and what they mean for computation and communication technology. Kozlowski will then take us deeper, exploring the cutting-edge design, architecture, and real-world applications of the quantum internet. Stolk will bring the discussion full circle by demonstrating the physical realization of this technology, bridging the gap between theory and reality.
This evening, alongside riveting scientific discussion, Deltatune and Jeroen Glas will immerse us in their mesmerizing mix of glassware sound objects and lo-fi video, driven by home-crafted electronic leads and beats. Come join the launch of the new Science Café season!

For you as an innovative entrepreneur, funding is key to driving innovation and fostering growth. Did you know that you can significantly increase your chance of success by protecting your intellectual property (IP)? Apply the tips shared by the Netherlands Patent Office for your benefit, find out how to perform an effective patent search and learn from the experiences of other entrepreneurs.
Forms of financing
As an innovative entrepreneur, your goal is not only to develop your product or service but also to market it and grow your business. In addition to conventional bank loans, there are other financing alternatives to consider, including applying for subsidies and funding schemes, attracting investors or crowdfunding. The right option for you depends on your business, idea or product.
Thorough preparation and awareness of available funding options increase your likelihood of successfully securing capital. If you want to attract the attention of investors then ensuring your own intellectual property is registered as well as performing searches of existing patents are vitally important. Discover our four tips.
Tip 1: Explore all protection options
As an entrepreneur, you can register your invention by obtaining a patent, providing protection against imitation. There are also other ways to protect your ideas. The options for protecting your innovation include:
Copyright and related rights: for texts and images
Trademark law: for logos, words (names), colours, sounds and shapes, designs or forms of or associated with companies, products and services
Tip 2: Take timely measures to protect your intellectual property
It is usually wise to give thought to intellectual property early on in your innovation process. This is also shown in a study carried out by the European Patent Office (EPO) and the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO). Startups applying for a patent or other form of intellectual property right (IPR) at an early stage are up to ten times more likely to obtain funding than startups that do not.
Practical example
FemTech company YON E Global developed a new eHealth tool that gives women insight into their overall vaginal health within 3 seconds. The company made a European patent application for four parts of the invention and enlisted the help of the Netherlands Patent Office.
“It costs a fortune to get your business up and running. We can now say to investors that we have researched the different protection options. And as a result, we can block competitors and copycats. The free help given by the Netherlands Patent Office has helped us to make important strategic decisions.”
Ricquelle Jeffrey
Chief Strategy Officer, YON E Global
Tip 3: Be careful with crowdfunding: don’t disclose too much information
Crowdfunding is a method of raising money from a wide audience, through “the crowd”. This is often facilitated by online crowdfunding platforms, where people can invest in different projects or initiatives. This enables you to obtain funding directly from backers, without having to seek support from banks or apply for grants. Still, it is important to be careful when using crowdfunding. The experience of keyboard developer Wooting is a case in point.
“Our crowdfunding campaign was a huge success. However, we disclosed many of the functionalities of our keyboards. That made it difficult to protect our product with a patent. Crowdfunding provides capital investment for hardware development and helps establish a bond with our customers in terms of product development. But we’ve also learned to be mindful of what we reveal in advance!”
Jeroen Langelaan
Engineer at Wooting
Tip 4: Investigate whether you are infringing other parties’ intellectual property
Freedom to Operate (FTO) is the ability to market your product or service without infringing other parties’ intellectual property. An FTO Analysis allows you to determine whether you may be infringing on someone else’s patent claims. This is also of interest to investors, as they want to minimise their risk as far as possible. To find out more, read patent advisor Yp Kroon’s blog.
“An FTO Analysis not only shows investors that you are seriously contemplating your IP rights, it also provides them with a risk analysis that makes them more likely to invest in your innovation. Read my blog for the full story.”
