Supplementary notes

Figures only include tech startups & scaleups founded in the Netherlands or with a HQ in Netherlands, with predominantly digital business models.

The source uses the following definition to define startups:
1. Innovative by design: both the product and/or business model are innovative
2. Tech enabled: either proprietary tech/software or business processes heavily enabled by tech
3. Rapidly scaling/scalable: once product-market fit is found, achieve high growth by leveraging its platform
4. Global ambitions: related with #3, startups have global (or at least international) ambitions
5. Venture backed: VC-backed companies mostly meet the previous criteria. But only 19% of companies in the dataset are venture backed
