Startup Accelerator is here to help you startup your freelance Software, Data & AI career, including a freelance
project of your choice. Many types of consulting projects available, to accelerate the next step in your career.
How Startup Accelerator is here for you
Since 2018, we’ve helped Software, Data & AI professionals find consultancy roles they love at companies like KLM, ING, Vattenfall, and Randstad Group. Startup Accelerator helps Machine Learning Engineers, Data Engineers, Platform Engineers and Cloud Engineers (SRE, Security, DevOps), become independent, freelance consultants.
In our vision, freelance consultancy is The Future of Work. That’s a difficult step to take, but we’ve found a solution. We act as a stepping stone to move away from traditional employment towards more flexibility, technically challenging projects, and higher earnings —
Startup Accelerator connects you with your first project at a company of your choice and take you through every step of establishing your own freelance consultancy company — all before ending your current employment contract.
Instead of a fixed salary, you earn 75% of the hourly rate, around €10,000 per month (plus many tax benefits), depending on your ideal work-life balance.
After one year, you are ready to fly on your own without Startup Accelerator. The Future of Work, it's up to you.
In short: Why Startup Accelerator?
Independence
Imagine the freedom to startup your own company. After one year you’re free to fly on your own, without limits.
You’re in control.
Doing what you like
Startup Accelerator helps you become a freelance consultant, so you can do the projects you like to do.
Without the hustle.
Work-life balance
You’ll earn around €10,000 per month, or adjust your time for a better
work-life balance.
It’s your life.
Some example companies we work with
SAPAI & Dutch AI Coalition (NL AIC)
Through Startup Accelerator we contribute to the shared ambition to attract & retain Software, Data & AI talent within The Netherlands, in line with the Strategic Action Plan for Artificial Intelligence (SAPAI) of the Dutch government. By participating in the building block 'Human Capital' of the Dutch AI Coalition, we focus on developing a selection of Big Data Analytics consulting specialists and retaining Data & AI (freelance) consultants in all sectors possible.
The NL AIC is a public-private partnership, in which governments, business, education- & research institutions and public organizations collaborate. The coalition has the ambition to stimulate the Duth activities within Artificial Intelligence and to support/organize where possible. This with the goal in mind to get The Netherlands in a frontline position with knowledge and implementations of AI for prosperity and well-being.
Why work with us
Startup Accelerator has been established to help experienced DataOps, MLOps & GitOps startup their career as a freelance consultant. We believe consultancy firms are not The Future of Work. For several reasons.
Our promise to the companies that work with us is simple. The same quality of hire (QoH) for external employees, for a lower hourly rate compared to consultancy organizations. That with the possibility to hire each person directly after one year, if there’s a mutual fit. A winning solution for everyone.
