We would like to present to you the six startups who are part of our latest Accelerator Batch! With the help of our experts and mentors, and through workshops and one-on-one sessions the startups are more than ready to change the world with their innovative ideas. Read all about it in this article.

“We once heard that ‘a dating app’ used to be used as an example of a startup you would never see at YES!Delft. And here we are. We are an unusual big group of cofounders with an unusual product and market for this incubator. Yet this accelerator program is a good fit for us. Not only because of the in-house experience and knowledge, but also because of the drive and mindset of the people we meet here. It will definitely help us in scaling and reaching our goal of changing the online dating industry. We look forward to getting to know the ecosystem and add to it with our enthusiasm and fresh perspective. Want to know more about Breeze or a do you just want a coffee date? Drop by our office (B5 1.03)!”

All popular dating apps work in the same way: there’s superficial swiping, a lot of chatting but rarely real dating. With Breeze we critically reduce the effort it takes to meet someone you’re attracted to face to face. Our active users receive two high match potential profiles each day, suggested by our algorithm. If there is a match users cannot chat, instead they go directly to our date picker where they find a suitable day for the date. The unique thing about Breeze is that we organize the date for you. Matches can choose out of relevant date activities, depending on the user profile, season and the current corona situation. We let you know where to be at what time, the rest is up to you!

Steel is the cornerstone of modern-day construction. Bridges, cranes, ships, windmills and offshore platforms could not be built without this material. When steel bends due to millions of loading cycles, small cracks start to appear which are the primary reason for replacing these structures. Villari provides breakthrough permanent monitoring and guarding of such aged assets using wireless sensors. This leads to elongated structural lifetime, less unneccesary repairs, and reduced cost of inspections.

“These days, a lack of continuous information leads to huge amounts of preventive repairs and premature replacements of large steel assets such as highway bridges, container cranes, and shipping vessels. We are working hard to revolutionize the way people think about predictive maintenance and repair in the coming years. Through the peer-to-peer sessions with other startups as well as the large network of mentors,  advisors, and other partners at YES!Delft we have been capable of making leaps forward in a short amount of time. Not only as a company, but as founders too.”

“This call may be recorded for quality assurance and training purposes”.

You may be familiar with this phrase, but did you know that on average only 2% of call center calls are monitored by companies? Call monitoring is essential to identify potential risks, improve agent performance and ultimately enhance the overall customer experience. Companies may be aware of the benefit of ardent call monitoring but, the high cost of employing human capital and limited call center capacity means most business will settle with just the “tip of the iceberg” approach.

Voyc does the impossible by enabling business to QA 100% of calls. Voyc eliminates the tedious task of listening to lengthy call recordings and provides companies with the right toolset to focus on implementing change. Voyc promises a self-service user experience with bank-grade security. With Voyc assisting with call monitoring, business is enabled to dedicate their time to training and coaching agents and improving customer satisfaction.

“At Voyc, we are on a mission to ensure the fair treatment of companies and their customers. We envision a world where customers decide which companies to trust based on the fact that Voyc is monitoring their call centers.
Being part of the YES!Delft Accelerator has been great because it has enabled us to spend more time with other like-minded founders and learn from each other through the peer-to-peer sessions.”

Sensible is dedicated to a healthier humanity through modern, connective and unnoticable sensing of parameters that characterize common diseases such as diabetes. Sensible’s first product, idi, is a glucose sensor that feels like a normal bandage patch and integrates seamlessly with any patient’s treatment preferences.

“A next generation greenhouse design for growing with unprecedented efficiency”

BBBLS uses an innovative method of providing extra insulation for greenhouses with soap bubbles. This enables the production of high quality food with much less energy. Our vision is to create a desired growing climate, accounting for external climate and seasonality to provide the most favourable conditions for greenhouses, or short: Controlled Climate As A Service.

“We are building climate-neutral greenhouses by using smart insulation with bubbles in a double roof construction. Our greenhouses are so economical that 4.5% of the Dutch climate objectives will be achieved if all Dutch greenhouses are replaced. Thanks to the YES!Delft Accelerator Program we want to lift the organization to a higher level and accelerate our growth.”

On the 21st of April our very first, fully online program kicked-off! 9 startups joined us for a 10 week program, to validate their business idea. Before the current pandemic we used to end the Validation Labs with a final event, where startup pitch the idea they worked on during the program. This time we asked our startups to sent in a pitch video, which makes it possible for us to create an even bigger online stage from them!  So are you interested to see where this period brought them? Watch the online pitches of our Deep Tech Validation Lab batch below!

FIX is a startup that wants to unlock the construction industry with affordable environmentally friendly houses. We take construction out of the age of craftsmanship into the age of eco-industry. Our houses are not built on a construction site, but manufactured with the latest green- technologies. Reducing construction time from years to months. Offering high quality architecture on a budget. Our houses are affordable, circular and energy and carbon neutral.

Correlimage developed the Corrosion Imager, a simple tool that researchers can use during the development of their next generation coatings. The Corrosion Imager makes use of scientifically proven image recognition software to assess the degradation in coatings and other surface treatments up to 10 times more accurate and is 3 times less expensive compared to the current methods. Interested to have this Corrosion Imager in your lab? Reach out to us and let’s organize a live demonstration!

Appsilon Enterprise is a deep tech company that grows diamonds in the lab. We re-create the earth’s process to grow diamond. Our plasma chamber is like the Sun on the Earth. Atom by atom, the diamond lattice form and it’s the same with how diamond forms in nature. 

Diamond is a key material for future technologies like quantum. As Appsilon, we are here to make the highest quality diamond accessible for the  current sensor technologies. 

At The Helia, we design, build and manufacture renewable energy systems that can deliver power wherever you need it, whenever you need it. Our goal is to make renewable energy the standard and not the exception.

Bluemethane will develop innovative technology and business models to capture methane emissions and generate energy from them, allowing selected hydropower plants around the world to generate up to 8% of additional installed capacity, even under the most challenging environmental conditions and with minimum or no intervention on the existing infrastructure.

Marc de Smit, Maria Montero and Gerrit Kool founded the startup NLR-RebelLion in 2020.  After many years of experience with metal 3D printing, they developed the SpreadChecker™ for measuring the powder performance in the printing process. This idea was born after disappointing results from the currently available testing tools for this purpose. NLR-RebelLion delivers easy-to-use inspection tools and qualification services for who is involved in 3D metal printing of high-tech products.

Flapper Drones takes inspiration from nature to develop animal-like flying drones for events, concerts, and theme parks.

Flapper Drones fly by flapping their wings, like hummingbirds and insects. Thanks to their light weight and soft wings, they can be operated safely near people. They produce natural, flapping sound, which, together with their animal-like appearance, makes them attractive and engaging, in comparison to conventional drones. They can be operated autonomously – individually or as a flock.

At SolvGE we are producing the world’s first hydrogen peroxide printer for on-site, on-demand and safe access to rocket grade hydrogen peroxide. With our printer, access to this green energetic fuel has never been more convenient, flexible and cost-effective. Our vision is to provide green sustainable solutions for the space propulsion industry and many others where hydrogen peroxide is currently in use. 

SolvGE, fuelling the rockets of tomorrow and more.

Hi, we are Berend and Jai’ Amir from IPCITA. We studied biology at the Utrecht University. We developed a method where we can directly capture CO2 from the atmosphere with microorganisms. These organisms are able to capture the CO2 and use it to grow. With this microorganism biomass, we produce a biobased form of carbonblack through an anaerobic burning process. Now we are looking for help in realizing our mvp and experts in growing biomass on a large scale.
