Real societal impact takes years to surface. Until it does, the dashboard tracks paying customers, team size and external funding as the clearest near-term proxies.

Dutch universities turn researchers into founders.
The hard part isn't the science. It's proving the impact.
This dashboard makes it impossible to ignore.
Behind every number is a researcher who left the lab to build. Ocean carbon capture, AI that reads cancer scans, fertilizer without the emissions. These are the people the dashboard tracks.
Every cohort opens as a wide funnel: tens of thousands of visitors during recruiting season, a few hundred at the webinars, an institute shortlist, and finally the fellows NWO selects. The dashboard lays the whole drop-off bare.
From the day a fellow is accepted to the day they exit, the dashboard follows eight milestones and shows how far the whole cohort has come on each one. Early, honest, and impossible to fudge.
Eleven universities and medical centres, four impact domains, and the national bodies that fund them. The dashboard rolls all of it into one honest picture.










The dashboard is live and public. No login, no gate. Just the numbers, cohort by cohort.
