Lotte Jansen

Startups & Venture Capital Writer, Dutch Business Review

Lotte Jansen writes about Dutch startups, venture capital and scaleups, following funding from pre-seed through growth rounds. She covers Amsterdam's software and fintech market as well as deep-tech clusters around Eindhoven, Delft and other university cities.

Her reporting pays close attention to funding concentration, investor behaviour and whether headline capital totals are translating into a broader pipeline of new companies.

Lotte's startup beat pays close attention to where capital accumulates and where it disappears. She distinguishes seed activity from later-stage financing and asks whether headline funding totals are spread across a broad company base or concentrated in a small number of larger rounds.

Her coverage also connects funding with geography and technical specialisation. Amsterdam's software and fintech ecosystem is different from the deep-tech pipeline around Eindhoven and Delft, so she avoids treating the Dutch startup market as a single homogeneous cluster.
