What do our customers think of us?
Customer reviews from NOM.

''The program gives you a clear picture of what is going on with investors. Especially founders who are not open to it should be pulled out of their comfort zone. Just use the opportunities that are offered. It's enormously valuable.''

Thanks to the program, I have started to look more critically at which projects and clients really suit us. This not only saves time, but also ensures better results and more fun at work.'

'It was a reality check; it put us in our place for a while. The program takes you out of your tunnel vision and makes you think about what you are doing. You get both feet on the ground. For example, it taught us to better analyze what triggers to use our material'.

The program gave us a lot of tools, for example that you have to ask the right questions to discover what really moves a potential customer. You have to let go of your own assumptions in order to gain valuable insights. In concrete terms: the SRP has helped us enormously in applying focus.

'NOM suggested another property in Coevorden that was perfect for us. They helped us with the connection to the electricity grid, the establishment of our company in the Netherlands and even introduced us to Ben Bode, our new Director Of Manufacturing for our location in Coevorden. Our experience was very positive. We worked with Wubbo Everts and from day one it was only an advantage to work with him.

'I once got to know NOM as a knowledgeable and reliable partner. Nothing has changed in that, I have noticed. So if you are looking for a genuinely interested party with a lot of knowledge and heart for the region, NOM is the place to be.'

'Every entrepreneur with promising ideas I would recommend participating. It is simply incredibly educational and afterwards you are guaranteed to go home with new insights and perspectives. It doesn't take too long either. You don't have to put everything aside. Your business just keeps running'.

'The fine experience with NOM was the deciding factor to settle in the Northern Netherlands. They helped us with the whole process, from the application to the move'.

'Everyone we have worked with has been very open, helpful and articulate. Groningen, with its leading universities and huge student community, provided a unique opportunity to test our product, build the early adopter community, and get us on the road to the growth phase.'

'The BIPF has given me a better understanding of the actual needs of potential clients. Before, I was too broadly oriented. The BIPF has taught me to focus. During the customer interviews I found out that large fish farmers were eagerly looking for live feed for consumer fish such as salmon, tuna and sturgeon. I was aware of that, but didn't know the problem was so big. That insight helped me make sharp choices.

'NOM ensured that Kampen Industrial Care was able to hold its ground during a difficult period. Among other things, they helped us achieve professionalization and make difficult choices. This support has contributed to the company ultimately being just as healthy as before. Perhaps even healthier.

'NOM provided more than just growth capital. Without NOM, the acquisition by SnelStart would never have gone so smoothly. Or maybe it wouldn't have happened at all. They prepared me optimally for everything involved in such a process. Whether it concerns financial or legal aspects. All knowledge and expertise is available. In house or within NOM's broad network.

The investor readiness program really helped us a lot. During the program you are forced to take a critical look at things you would rather put off. Things that still seem far away, or are not yet up for discussion. But that is precisely why it is so good, because the decisions you make now will ultimately determine the future of your company.

We have now started to look at our business fundamentally differently. Before the program, that was mostly by feel, but this gives us much more guidance. We now know things instead of thinking we know things.''

The NOM Startup Program helped a lot with further exploring the market and reaching potential customers.

The cooperation was very pleasant. And always easy in terms of contact and they thought actively with everything.

'We participated in the Startup Readiness program and the Investor Readiness program. Both programs have been very valuable to us. The Startup Readiness program was a bit more intensive and gave us a lot of insight into where we are as a startup and what we still need to do. The Investor Readiness program gave us a lot of tips and tricks on becoming fundable for investors and legal conditions, but also provided us with a good network.

`The sessions were good, especially also because the coaches and other facilitators have an entrepreneurial past. They not only provide you with all kinds of practical tools, but also like to share their own experiences'.

'The cooperation was excellent. Wessel communicates clearly, plainly and smoothly. He had only one goal: to help our company move forward.'

'Regardless of the funding, they were always willing to help us further. Always as an equal partner. Equivalence is also what we look for in an investor.'

'It was very valuable. Wessel has an awful lot of international experience and allowed us to take full advantage of it. He showed commitment from the very first moment and was constantly on top of things. It resulted in a smooth and constructive cooperation'.

'Such a good sparring partner as NOM keeps you on your toes. I also just liked the way things went, with the same contact person all the time. That is nice. And the large network also helped me a lot.

'My journey with the Startup Visa program and NOM has been a game-changer. As a female founder, it has been an incredible support system for ILIK. We are still a tiny startup, and NOM has been instrumental in supporting us in this early stage. The support, guidance, feedback and those great networking opportunities have been crucial in our ideation and development.

'The cooperation was surprisingly smooth and efficient. We really didn't expect that at all from a government organization as an investor. Even investment fund Maki was impressed by how quickly and well it all went. The communication was clear, the agreements were clear and the offer we received was also really reasonable. We are really very happy with how it all went'.

Read the review

'The contact went smoothly and the guidance during the BIPF was professional and helpful. It was nice to occasionally spar extensively with the people from NOM. How are you in it? Which market is attractive to you and do you see parties you could collaborate with? That also helped us a lot.
