Next to being a mentor, Frank & the Backs offered us important expertise at a reasonable rate. See them as your business coach: they challenge you to improve and are brutally honest if necessary. Their objective view and supportive attitude have helped us a lot.” Marnix van de Berg, V-ID Blockchain.

Frank's legal counsel

How to apply

Can every startup or scaleup apply? Sure…. Well, there is a small catch. We would like to work with businesses that already have some crucial aspects in place, like for example a strong operational team, proof of concept and a scalable business model with a clear impact.
