A big step today for NLC Health Ventures and the NLC Health Impact Fund! Today in the Het Financieele Dagblad we announced our collaboration with Dutch health insurer Coöperatie VGZ. VGZ invested €6M in NLC, which will be used in the HIF to bring our #startups faster to the market, so they can impact #patients and healthcare workers. VGZ deeply understand the challenges in the Dutch #healthcare market, and with their expertise can help our ventures to address the need better, make reimbursement easier to achieve and overall increase the speed that patients can get access to our technologies. Let's bring more science to life! https://lnkd.in/e5TSmy8t #healthcare #innovation #healthtech #netherlands #fund #vc #scaleup

Congratulations to Madeline Judge, Thijs Bouman, Linda Steg and Jan Willem Bolderdijk on their perspective paper, "Accelerating social tipping points in sustainable behaviors: Insights from a dynamic model of moralized social change” published in One Earth today! ⚖️ When do social tipping points for sustainable behaviors like eating less (or no) meat occur? What is the effect of treating #sustainable behavior as simply the morally correct thing to do? ⚖️ The paper presented a new theoretical framework - the Dynamic Model of Moralized Social Change - to understand how sustainable behaviors can diffuse into society over time. The framework identified five phases of any given behavior’s adoption level in a population: Phase 1: Moral recognition Phase 2: Moral amplification Phase 3: Approaching tipping points Phase 4: Institutionalization Phase 5: Norm abandonment https://lnkd.in/e6xPkDnb #environmentalpsychology #behaviorchange #proenvironmentalbehavior

🏥 Another milestone for Amsterdam’s life sciences and medical research community – the ADORE project has received €9M from Dutch Research Council (NWO) to investigate cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. 🗓️ This will be a long term project spanning 10 years – and will bring together over 2,000 researchers from Cancer Center Amsterdam and Amsterdam Neuroscience to create personalised treatments plans by investigating common disease mechanisms. 😷 With cancer cases in the Netherlands expected to jump from 800,000 in 2022 to 1.4 million by 2031, and dementia affecting 1 in 5 – the NWO is investing €25 million in total across different research initiatives. 🏙️ This grant solidifies Amsterdam’s position as being a leader when it comes to the healthcare landscape, with this research not only having a positive impact on a national level, but with the potential to change lives internationally. 🔗 Dive into the details about the ADORE grant and what it means for Amsterdam: https://lnkd.in/eaEb7rV8

It's time for a session recap: Due Diligence & Term Sheets at the unlock Incubation Program! 🌟 Last Tuesday, we delved into the investment process with insights from Jaap De Bruin from FIRST fund and Luc Schoppink from Dutch CardioVascular Alliance. Jaap and Luc explained the ins and outs of due diligence, emphasizing why it's crucial. They also covered which points are negotiable in term sheet discussions and highlighted common pitfalls entrepreneurs face during these stages. Super valuable insights! A key takeaway was learning how to effectively work with a consortium of investors. Their real-world examples and practical advice were a great help! Huge thanks to Jaap and Luc for an outstanding workshop! It was filled with actionable information that will definitely help us navigate the investment landscape. #duediligence #incubation #startup #entrepreneurship
