HighTechXL Venture Building Program

Run by HighTechXL.

HighTechXL's venture building programme in Eindhoven runs twelve months in three phases with Gate Moments between them, each month including one on-site sprint week, and starts twice a year. No investment amount is published for the programme itself, and HighTechXL separately operates a PreSeedXL Fund. Equity is not a fixed term: the FAQ says every deal is tailored, with most shares going to cofounders and a small amount to HighTechXL. Deeptech and hardware.
