Impact Studio
Impact Studio, the TU Delft pre-incubation programme for early-stage startups, is here to support entrepreneurs and researchers in exploring the market and the business potential of their technology. At Impact Studio, entrepreneurs and researchers are equipped with the right tools and knowledge to advance their startups. Upon completing the program, they are prepared to participate in accelerator programs, such as YES!Delft.
What does Impact Studio offer?
- A 6 month coaching program, designed to assist in finding the problem-solution fit that aligns with the technology. Impact Studio also provides an online library of entrepreneurial knowledge to expedite the learning process.

Impact Studio helps develop a value proposition and connects talented (master) students with researchers to support this process.
