We help build tomorrow’s leading tech firms by providing tailored services with an extensive ecosystem to our startups, without taking equity.
We believe in the impact tech companies can have. Through innovation, they provide a crucial contribution to our society and economy. Our services turn promising ideas and teams into solid tech startups and help them grow into successful companies. By connecting our unique startup programs & services with our regional ecosystem of experts, mentors, partners, and investors, we help build tomorrow’s leading tech firms.
We are proud to say we do not take equity.
Together with our shareholders TU Delft, Municipality of Delft and the Erasmus University and many partners, investors, mentors, municipalities and other incubators and accelerators we are an ecosystem. Located at the TU Delft Campus in Delft, the technology hub in the South of Holland. TU Delft Campus is the international breeding ground for radical innovations, shaping the future of Robotics, AI, Quantum, MedTech and Energy Transition.
YES!Delft team is made of entrepreneurs, innovators and tech enthusiasts. We know how it is to run a company because many of us have started one in the past. Our team is dedicated to sharing their knowledge, connecting you to the right people and organisations and bringing value to the entrepreneurs that enter the incubator.
We are always looking for new talent

YES!Delft opened the doors of its first location in 2005 as one of the first incubators in the Netherlands, right next to the campus of Delft University of Technology. Today, we have grown – and continue to grow – into a vast and vibrant community of entrepreneurs, mentors, partners and investors.
Combined with our unique set of programs and services, this enables startups and scale-ups to bring their disruptive technological innovations to the market as quickly and as effectively as possible. And thereby create a real, positive and often much-needed impact in society.
How do we differentiate ourselves? We support entrepreneurs who build complex products, both hardware and digital, in challenging markets, often with a run-up time and expensive prototyping involved. We take zero equity as we are a non-profit organisation. We believe that the entrepreneur comes first and we value quality over quantity.
The Validation Lab of YES!Delft helped us establish our initial market presence, and their continued support proved invaluable afterwards. They filled in essential gaps that every early-stage startup encounters, making a real difference for us at Fluxthor.
The YES!Delft Accelerator program helped us navigate unknowns and prioritise the essentials offering access to a network of partners always ready to assist. The program is structured yet flexible, a perfect combination for startups looking to grow!
The accelerator program really opened our eyes to what it means to be a founder when we were just getting started. Think of this program as your first driving lessons. Can you really skip those?
As a start-up, you need all the help you can get. YES!Delft gave us the guidance and the support needed while we were figuring things out. We received good advice on the business model, on how to simplify concepts to create more impact, and daring to think big!
The Accelerator Program armed us with the tools to ask the right questions, empowering us to define our own strategic plan for bringing our service to market.
