About DSA

The Dutch Startup Association (DSA) is the largest independent organization, acting as the voice of startups and scale-ups within the Netherlands. The three main pillars of DSA include Lobbying, Community, and Research. DSA aims to strengthen the position of the Netherlands as a startup country within Europe and promote innovation within the startup ecosystem, as startups are the future of tomorrow.

Together with our members and partners, we actively remove legislative barriers for entrepreneurs by lobbying on a national and European level (pillar Lobbying). Furthermore, we execute various research projects to keep our stakeholders (politicians, media, etc.) well informed (pillar Research).

For the pillar Community, we stimulate knowledge sharing within the ecosystem through connecting startups, founders, and key personnel via events and our network. This is where you come in!
