🚀 Is the Dutch startup scene finally on the rise, or is it just hype? 🤔 1. CARIQA'S GAME-CHANGER IN EV CHARGING ⚡️ Cariqa has just secured €1 MILLION for a consumer-facing EV charging marketplace. This could reshape how we think about EV infrastructure. 👉 Focus on user experience. 👉 Accessibility to EV charging. 👉 But, how does this impact traditional charging networks? 💡 PROVOCATIVE INSIGHT: If Cariqa succeeds, traditional charging stations may lose their footing. Will they adapt, or will they fade away? 2. THE SHARING GROUP'S BIG MOVE 🚴♀️ The Sharing Group just acquired a majority stake in Drop Mobility. This aims to boost shared cycling in the Brainport area. 👉 Imagine an explosion of shared bicycles for businesses. 👉 They already installed 1,000 e-bikes for ASML. 👉 However, will this effectively reduce traffic congestion? 😳 REAL TALK: Will shared mobility create a more sustainable future? Or are we merely shifting the problem around? 3. BIZAWAY'S €35 MILLION BOOST 💰 BizAway raises a whopping €35 MILLION from Mayfair Equity Partners. That’s a clear signal: investors still have faith in travel tech. 👉 People are ready to travel again. 👉 But, do we see this rising travel trend remaining stable? 🧐 THE REAL QUESTION: As startups, should we pump resources into travel tech, or is it a risk we can’t afford? 🔮 WHAT'S NEXT? The landscape is shifting. Opportunities abound, but so do risks. What do you think? Is the Dutch startup scene truly thriving, or just losing its edge? Are you ready to embrace these changes or cautious about diving in?

A first-mover advantage or a new technology is only a temporary short-term advantage for startups. Competition can copy or even build better versions of technology over a period. Long-term sustained differentiation has to come from a solid business strategy that outsmarts the competition. For ex. Uber's long-term competitive edge is not its app, which got copied. Edge came from its smart business strategy of leveraging data, building a strong network of drivers, and creating a seamless user experience. #longterm #startups #competition

Reducing Cart Abandonment: Strategies for Startup Abandoned shopping carts are a critical challenge for e-commerce startups, with industry averages suggesting an abandonment rate as high as 70%. For a new business like a startup in Lisbon focusing on artisanal products, these statistics translate to a substantial loss in potential revenue. **Understanding Cart Abandonment** The average abandonment rate might be 70%, but for startups, it can spike due to factors such as lack of trust, high shipping costs, or complicated checkout processes. Imagine, for instance, that reducing this rate by even 10% could potentially increase your revenue by up to 25%, considering the added efficiency in converting existing traffic. https://lnkd.in/dx_wYSfs
