Pitch Deck · 2026

The Netherlands has world-class technical talent.
Almost none of it is building on Solana.

Superteam NL exists to change that. The official Dutch builders' hub for the Solana ecosystem.

01 / The problem

The Dutch Web3 builder problem.

Talent is here. Infrastructure to turn that talent into shipped projects on Solana isn't.

01

Students don't know where to start

330,000+ Dutch university students. No structured on-ramp into Solana. Most never even hear about it.

02

Early builders lack support

Curious devs and designers can't find mentors, technical help, or peers building in the same direction.

03

The local ecosystem is fragmented

Solana projects in NL exist in isolation. No shared rooms, no shared distribution, no shared deal flow.

04

No pipeline from curiosity to shipping

There's no clear path from "I want to learn" to "I've shipped an MVP" to "I'm building a company."

02 / Positioning

A community-first accelerator for Dutch builders on Solana.

Funded bySolana Foundation
Equity takenZero. Ever.
IncentivesEcosystem-first

We turn curiosity into capability, and capability into shipped on-chain projects. We don't take equity. We don't gate the room. We back builders.

04 / Execution model

Colosseum: the engine.

A recurring international catalyst moment for the Dutch Solana ecosystem.

Activates new talent across NL universities.

Accelerates existing builders with Dutch side tracks.

Provides build support, mentorship and demo infrastructure.

Coordinates the ecosystem in one room, twice a year.

Turns submissions into post-hackathon startups.

05 / Timing

Why this works now.

This wasn't possible in 2021. It is now.

AI

Building got 10× cheaper

Solo builders ship in days what teams used to ship in quarters. The barrier to MVP collapsed.

Infra

Solana finally matured

Token Extensions, Firedancer, restaking primitives. The rails for serious consumer apps are here.

UX

Crypto stopped feeling like crypto

Embedded wallets, gasless flows, fiat on-ramps. Builders can target normal users now.

Talent

Students want to ship, not intern

A new generation of NL students would rather found a company than join a Big 4 grad scheme.

Europe

EU lacks local builder ecosystems

The Bay Area and Lagos have rooms full of crypto founders. Most EU cities don't. The gap is the opportunity.

Scale

Small teams ship globally

Distribution is one good launch away. NL builders are no longer constrained by NL market size.

06 / Ecosystem
