Which track a founder applies to matters more than it first appears. Energy, AgriFood and Emerging Tech each sit behind their own dedicated fund, so the money comes from a different pocket in each case.
Cohorts run for approximately five months out of Amsterdam. Companies selected are invested in from typically EUR 100,000 upwards, and Rockstart takes equity for that.
Intake is rolling, with no single annual call to apply to.
What it actually costs you
Three vertical tracks run out of Amsterdam under Rockstart, covering Energy, AgriFood and Emerging Tech, each with its own dedicated fund behind it. Cohorts last approximately five months and selected companies are invested in from typically EUR 100,000 upwards in exchange for equity. Founders working in climate, foodtech or deep tech are the natural fit, and intake is rolling.
