The Dutch Student Investment Fund was launched last week by the University of Twente to back spinouts from Twente and its partner institution Saxion Academy with funding of between €25,000 and €100,000.
The fund will be run by five students, assisted by experienced board members and investors including Erwin Holtland, an investor in the local business park Kennispark Twente, Steve Walsh, a professor of the University of New Mexico, Ray Quintana, associate at the US-based Cottonwood Technology Fund, and Thomas Mensink of Golden Egg Check, a business consultancy.
