JADS Playground
Startups are hard. But you don’t have to do it all alone!
The JADS Playground is the startup incubator and community within JADS. We help entrepreneurial students and professionals with the first steps of building a startup. We’re an open incubator with a focus on data/AI startups, that means students from other universities and working professionals with an interest in data science and entrepreneurship are all welcome!
What we do:
- Coaching: Talk to our experienced coaches to reflect on your thoughts or discuss how to tackle a problem
- Workshops: Learn how to validate the problem you’re solving, do customer discovery, build a prototype, pitch your startup, get funding and more.
- Events: Successful entrepreneurs share their experience to inspire, connect and have a little fun.
- Funding: The Playground does not provide funding, but we have an extensive network of VC’s and other organizations that invest in early stage startups. We’ll help you to prepare and get in contact.
- Office space: We offer flex desks and dedicated offices at the beautiful JADS campus. A great way to be part of a dynamic environment with a close connection to JADS talent.
If you are thinking of starting your own venture, if you already started or if you just want more information, feel free to reach out: playground@jads.nl.
