Incubator UtrechtInc just selected six new startups for its ‘Pressure Cooker’ program: Closure, Goings-On, Campfire, MarcoPoloBot, PerfectPlace and PostMe.  More than any other incubator in the Netherlands the focus of UtrechtInc has been on helping tackle societal issues concerning health, the environment and education with entrepreneurship. The composition of this new batch of startups echoes this focus.

 

The ‘Pressure Cooker’ program is a four month program that culminates for the selected startups in a demo day on January 18, 2018.  “If the startups have made sufficient progress they can attract funding via the ‘Rabo Pre-Seed’ and enroll the 2-year build program, says Elina Schäfer, marketing and communication manager at UtrechtInc to StartupJuncture.” The Rabo Pre-seed Fund is an initiative of Rabobank Utrecht, Utrecht University, Utrecht Holdings and Rijksdienst voor Ondernemend Nederland (RvO), executed by UtrechtInc. Its intended to help startup entrepreneurs to overcome their first funding needs by offering loans of 18.000 to up to 50.000 euro.

Here is without further ado the new UtrechtInc Pressure Cooker class:
