Two ways to use this page

This is not a marketplace and not a public supplier directory. Founders are matched through us. Providers apply to be considered for the internal network.

Looking for a trusted provider?

If you are a founder, we introduce specialists from the network based on nationality, timeline, budget and the stage of your file. We do not publish the list, so clients cannot shop the network around us, and listing here is not an endorsement of every Dutch firm in that category.

Apply as a provider

If you are an independent Dutch specialist working with international founders on the startup-visa journey, you can apply below. Applying does not guarantee acceptance or referrals. Inclusion is free.

How approval works

Every application follows the same four steps. Most applicants will hear from us only if we want to continue.

1

Application

Submit the form on this page. Incomplete applications are not reviewed.

2

Initial review

We check category fit and KVK details.

3

Verification and introductory call

A short call with our team if we want to continue.

4

Approved network status

Accepted providers stay in our internal network. They are not listed on this site.

How the network is structured

These boundaries are fixed. They protect founders, protect the network, and keep introductions based on fit rather than who pays us.

Apply to join our provider network

Tell us who you are. We review for category fit, then contact providers we want to take further. Applying does not guarantee acceptance or referrals.

Questions

Is this a public directory of providers?

No. Approved providers stay in our internal network. We introduce founders based on their situation. Publishing the list would invite clients to bypass us, expose a network we are still building, and imply an endorsement of every listed business.

Does applying guarantee acceptance or referrals?

No. Application is a request to be considered. Selection is based on quality and suitability. We do not guarantee referral volume.

Do you charge providers to join?

No. NL Venture Desk does not charge providers for inclusion. We do not sell memberships or paid listings. Pay-to-play would eventually pressure us to recommend whoever pays rather than whoever is the right fit.

Who does the client contract with?

Providers remain independent. Clients contract and pay providers directly. NL Venture Desk coordinates the broader startup, immigration and establishment process. Any referral benefit must be transparent.

Which professions are you accepting now?

The eight categories listed above, all tied to the startup-visa journey.
