About us (Golden Egg Check)

Our team is active and well-known in the Dutch Startup Scene for over 15 years. We've assessed thousands of business plans, coached hundreds of startups and work closely with almost all of the Dutch Venture Capital funds.  We think everyone with a good business idea should have acces to the right resources and feedback to learn about building a startup, because our whole society might benefit from your startup one day. We believe in a hands-on approach. Therefore we do not only offer knowledge in terms of the online masterclasses, we also made custom templates and provide you with feedback, this way you learn by doing.

The Program

Chapter 1: Value Proposition

The most promising business ideas consist of concepts that solve an urgent problem (or offer opportunities) for a large group of people. We teach you not to think too much about the solution you have in mind right now, but first do some research on other solutions that might better meet the needs of your potential customers. In this way you increase your chances of success considerably!

Chapter 2: Market Analysis

Once you have an insight into the problem you solve for your target group, we will find out how big the market is. We do this to be able to estimate the potential of your idea. The bigger the market, the more interesting your concept becomes. We also teach you to always think about the scalability of your concept. This means: with as little effort as possible, achieve the largest possible impact.

Chapter 3: Team

Research has shown that the best startup teams consist of multiple members (founders) with different backgrounds. Think of differences in educational backgrounds, work experience but also character traits. In this chapter we will teach you all about complementarity, diversity and inclusion. These are the main pillars for a successful team.

Chapter 4: Competitive Edge

Even though you may have an innovative idea, there are almost always competitors doing something similar. Often this scares off startup entrepreneurs, we try to paint a different picture. A competitor proves that they have found a product-market fit. This simply means that there are people walking around who have money to spend on something similar that you also want to offer, that’s good news! This is why in this chapter we teach you to study competitors carefully and distinguish yourself from them.

Chapter 5: Growth

Growth does not just mean more sales, you can also grow in reach, impact or for example staff. If you want to grow your business, it is important to set goals. We teach you what data to collect and how to analyze it in order to gain valuable insights and achieve your goals.

Chapter 6: Financials

Drawing up a good financial plan turns out to be a difficult part for many starters. We try to explain the basics in an accessible way, so you get more insight into how you can organize your finances. Are you going to bootstrap your startup or are you going to get funding? Together we investigate what suits you best.

Chapter 7: Strategy

In this chapter we summarize all the previous chapters. This allows you to determine for yourself what your strategy is for the coming period. You will develop a planning where you indicate to yourself which goals you want to achieve per phase in order to really start doing business.

Chapter 8: Assessment

In this chapter you will assess your own plan using the tool we've created to assess startups based on the criteria VC's use to either invest in a startup or not. This way you will find out just how attractive your business case is and what aspects should be adjusted to make it even more attractive. Next to that one of our Startup Analysts will also do the assessment on your plan and provide you with detailled feedback.
