What’s the value of your company? By Sjoerd Klabbers, BDO Tax & Legal
Determining the value of a company is never straightforward—especially for startups. Emotions often come into play, alongside the complexity of multiple valuation methods. Without a track record, predicting future performance becomes a challenge. Yet, understanding your company’s worth is critical, particularly when external funding is the key to growth.
This part of the workshop breaks down the essentials of valuation for startups and scale-ups at any growth stage. You’ll learn how to navigate valuation methods, prepare for negotiations, and set the right conditions to secure a deal. Whether you’re gearing up to pitch to investors or planning your next funding round, this session will equip you with the tools and insights to succeed.
See through the investor’s eyes By Björn Schaap, Oost NL
The most successful deals happen when entrepreneurs and investors align their goals. But to reach this point, you need to understand what’s driving the person across the table. What do investors prioritize in a business case? What are their expectations of you now and later, as a shareholder in your company? And just as importantly, what can you expect from them?
Rather than focusing solely on getting a bigger slice of the pie, this part of the workshop emphasizes collaboration—working together to grow the pie for everyone.

Monthly IP walk-in for health & hightech entrepreneurs. Are you a startup or SME in the health or hightech sector? Every month, we host a free walk-in session where you can get expert advice on Intellectual Property (IP).
Why IP matters
As an entrepreneur, protecting your ideas, technologies, and brand is crucial. Whether you’re developing medical innovations, software, or high-tech devices, having a solid IP strategy can help you secure funding, attract partners, and stay ahead of the competition. From patents and trademarks to design rights and trade secrets—knowing your options can make all the difference.
Meet Rienk Rienksma – IP Advisor at RVO
Rienk is an Intellectual Property advisor at the Netherlands Patent Office. The Netherlands Patent Office is the official body responsible for granting patents in the Netherlands. It supports startups and SMEs with questions about IP rights in the broadest sense—whether it’s patent protection, trademarks, or understanding how to safeguard your innovation roadmap.
The advice is confidential, free of charge, and completely independent—no commercial interests involved.
You’re welcome to just walk in, or if you prefer, you can make an appointment in advance.
On October 8, the fifth edition of the Radboudumc Investment Day took place at the Experience Center. Scientists, entrepreneurs, and investors from the life sciences & health sector gathered to exchange knowledge, network, and explore new collaborations.
The event was jointly organized by Briskr, Oost NL, Radboudumc, and Radboud University. With over 241 attendees, the turnout once again surpassed the previous year.
Mayor Bruls and Invest-NL
The day was opened by Mayor Bruls of Nijmegen, who attended the event in honor of its lustrum. The mayor emphasized the importance of forging new connections to successfully bring innovations to market and urged all attendees to actively pursue this goal. He also highlighted Nijmegen’s strengths as a breeding ground for innovation—a city with a rich history and a young, highly educated, and creative population.
The keynote speaker was Rinke Zonneveld, CEO of Invest-NL. In a conversation with Wieteke Numan from Oost NL, he discussed current developments in Dutch health companies. Zonneveld pointed out a growing challenge for early-stage companies: securing enough funding to make the leap from start-up to scale-up. He called on the attending investors to join Invest-NL in putting more energy—and courage—into taking risks.
As in previous years, the day’s program focused on fostering new connections. In addition to informative sessions, there was ample opportunity for one-on-one meetings, which could be scheduled in advance or during the event via a matching tool. Others met spontaneously during breaks, networking drinks, and the dinner afterward.
Radboudumc Team Wins Venture Challenge Drug Repurposing
This year, Investment Day hosted the final round of the Venture Challenge, a national initiative that helps early-stage entrepreneurs refine their ideas. This edition focused on drug repurposing: applying existing medications to new uses.
The Radboudumc team SAVE emerged as the winner. SAVE aims to repurpose the drug Sirolimus for rare congenital vascular anomalies, where it has shown high effectiveness. The team consists of Maroeska te Loo, Veroniek Harbers, Edith Klappe, and Carine van der Vleuten. They received a €20,000 incentive prize to further develop their initiative.
Angela Soares Wins Martijn Kriens Best Poster Award
PhD candidate Angela Soares won the event’s poster competition (see photo). Her research explores the use of integrated sensing cell-signatures (ISS) to detect infected joint prostheses. This method has the potential to identify infections much faster and more patient-friendly than current diagnostic techniques.
Angela received the Martijn Kriens Best Poster Award: a €2,500 encouragement prize for her idea. Entries were judged not only on scientific merit but also on their potential to evolve into successful products.
