ROM InWest GO-NH

GO!-NH

GO!-NH is the accelerator programme for innovative entrepreneurs in North Holland. From sustainable start-ups to established SMEs with an innovative product, process or service, GO!-NH helps businesses grow.

Together with the province of North Holland and an extensive network of experts, we support entrepreneurs to go to market faster, smarter and more robustly. With a practical approach, guidance and a network of regional partners, GO!-NH offers entrepreneurs the tools and network to increase their impact.
“We can deploy our venture development approach programmatically in GO!-NH. Individually, as ROM InWest, we already guide many entrepreneurs, but with GO!-NH we do it in a pressure cooker together with the entire North Holland ecosystem.”- Stef Mellema, ROM InWest.

For whom?

GO!-NH is there for innovative companies in every stage of life. Start-ups, scale-ups and existing SMEs with a new and innovative idea are welcome. Think of a new circular service, a sustainable production process or a smart energy application. The programme is widely accessible and explicitly targets entrepreneurs from all over North-Holland.

What does GO!-NH offer?

GO!-NH consists of two programme phases, tailored to your company's development phase:

GO!-NH Market Readiness Programme

For innovative early-stage companies: from idea to product-market fit. Modules focused on:
- Customer validation
- Value proposition
- Earnings models
- Networking

GO!-NH Scaling Readiness Programme

For companies already in the market and ready for growth. Modules focused on:
- Scaling up
- Market expansion
- Investment
- Organisational development

In all pathways, you work intensively with experts, coaches and other entrepreneurs, according to a data-driven method based on the proven StartupFramework© from Gritd. Together with Tekkoo, Ontwikkelingbedrijf Noord-Holland Noord (ONHN) and ROM InWest, we combine hands-on experience with a keen eye for impact and consistency.

Why through ROM InWest?

ROM InWest is involved in GO!-NH from start to finish: from the content of the programme to the selection of participants and implementation. This makes GO!-NH a logical extension of our venture development services. We help entrepreneurs individually and in groups. In GO!-NH we can deploy our knowledge, network and guidance in a programme in which cooperation and acceleration are central.

And all in close cooperation with the ecosystem: experts, investors, governments, support programmes such as PIM and other regional partners help build participants' success. We are actively expanding this network: partners are welcome to join.
