Amsterdam-based DutchBasecamp collaborates with ACE to enhance international growth efforts for startups. The new partnership aligns well with DutchBasecamp’s mission to provide essential resources for startups aiming for global markets. By merging forces with ACE, both organizations aim to offer a wider array of services to assist founders in navigating the complexities of international business environments.
Previously, DutchBasecamp had tapped into a wide-ranging global network, assisting over 750 startups in market identification and expansion strategy development. ACE, on the other hand, boasts over 10 years of experience in helping businesses incorporate and manage legal matters for smooth international transitions.
What Does the Partnership Offer?
The collaboration between DutchBasecamp and ACE is aimed at offering an expanded palette of services through a robust global network. Founders will benefit from ACE’s presence in more than 17 countries, providing necessary support in legal issues, market access, and investor connections. These strategic moves aim to streamline and make international growth more affordable for budding entrepreneurs.
Who is Leading the New Direction?
DutchBasecamp has announced that Masha Moisseyeva, a seasoned entrepreneur, will take over as Managing Director. Moisseyeva’s work focuses on providing practical insights for founders based on her own experience in managing startups and an agency dedicated to aiding non-EU companies in European markets. Her appointment aims to embody the “by founders, for founders” ethos that DutchBasecamp values.
The strategy goes beyond services by focusing on honest founder-to-founder conversations to share both successes and setbacks. In a statement, Moisseyeva expressed DutchBasecamp’s dedication to support entrepreneurs, saying,
“As a founder myself, I know expansion can be exciting but also tough. Our role at DutchBasecamp is to make sure founders don’t face it alone.”
ACE’s role in the partnership is pivotal for providing structured administrative solutions. Their expertise in compliance, payroll, and bookkeeping is geared toward ensuring that companies transition smoothly into new markets. Jan Willem Gille, Head of Americas at ACE, also highlighted the importance of transparency and real-world experiences for international success, stating,
“After helping more than 750 startups expand abroad, we know that internationalisation is never a straight line.”
Reports indicate that DutchBasecamp had earlier aligned with ACE to disseminate valuable knowledge and networks. The current partnership builds upon prior efforts, emphasizing enhanced support structures for Dutch companies coursing through global expansion.
Joining forces with ACE adds more depth to DutchBasecamp’s international growth initiatives, enabling broader service offerings and knowledge-sharing platforms. For startups aiming for international markets, this partnership provides access not only to crucial services but also to experiential learning through shared entrepreneurial journeys. New initiatives like honest founder dialogues ensure realities of global expansions are more transparent and better managed. These combined resources and expert leadership potentially encourage more startups to pursue ambitions on a global stage.
