Overview
What they do
Founded in 2022, the Amsterdam Academic Angel Fund (3xA Fund) is a joint initiative backed by the University of Amsterdam (UvA) and Vrije Universiteit (VU). It operates as a pre-seed academic angel fund dedicated to supporting very early-stage startups emerging from these two universities. Positioned at the earliest stages of the startup lifecycle, 3xA Fund provides the initial capital needed for business development, prototyping, and market testing. It is deeply embedded in the Amsterdam academic ecosystem, working closely with university incubators like Demonstrator Lab (DLAB) and ACE Incubator to foster student entrepreneurship and bridge the gap between academia and commercial reality.
