Startup investment value in the Netherlands 2016-2021
Investments in startup companies in the Netherlands grew nearly fourfold between 2020 and 2021, reaching their highest value in the last few years. Due to the Netherlands' small size, changes can be more noticeable than in other countries. Unlike Amsterdam, London, Paris, Berlin and Stockholm were particularly popular places for startup investment rounds. A startup is usually defined as a starting (group of) entrepreneur(s), but there are many different definitions of this term. For this specific ranking, the source mentions that it included startups that are less than ten years old. Exceptions were companies which did not mention their founding year, or which were officially listed as a startup despite passing the ten-year mark.
