Rotterdam-based Builders, a startup studio, announced on Thursday that it has raised €1.5M in the second closing of a larger investment round with a target to raise €6M to develop six companies and start international expansion. The Dutch startup studio aims to raise another €4.5M in the upcoming year.
Founded by experienced entrepreneurs Michael van Lier and Sharon Klaver in 2020, Builders (formerly We Are Builders) is a startup studio designed to build and grow technology companies from scratch by bringing together bold ideas, seasoned co-founders, operational support, and investment capital.
It has already developed two startups – Obeyo and Influentials.
“In addition to the successful launches of Obeyo and Influentials and bringing in a great team of experts, we are getting ready to launch six more SaaS companies in the next couple of years. And before you know it, you might find us in Spain,” says Sharon Klaver, co-founder of Builders.
