YES!Delft

YES!Delft is a Dutch deep-tech incubator at yesdelft.com associated with TU Delft, focused on supporting early-stage technology spinouts and entrepreneurs from the Delft technical university ecosystem. Without disclosed stage, sector, or check size in the input record, YES!Delft is best understood as an incubator and entrepreneurship platform rather than a traditional venture fund, which means engagement is structured around program participation, mentor access, and university research commercialization rather than direct equity investment by a fund partnership. For healthcare AI founders, YES!Delft is relevant only if you have a credible TU Delft linkage: a research-based spinout, an IP licensed from TU Delft, a co-founder affiliated with the university, or a commitment to operate or hire from the Delft ecosystem. Without that anchor, the program is unlikely to engage meaningfully. The Dutch healthcare and life sciences ecosystem includes notable medical imaging, robotics, and digital health activity, particularly in partnership with Erasmus MC and the broader Randstad medical research network, which makes YES!Delft credible for technical healthcare AI founders with deep-tech orientations. Capital deployed through the program is typically modest, often EUR 50K to EUR 250K through associated angel and seed networks, with primary value coming from infrastructure, mentorship, and follow-on investor introductions. Best entry path is a direct application through the website, supplemented by outreach through TU Delft’s tech transfer office and the Delft Health Initiative. Founders without a Delft linkage should redirect to healthcare-focused incubators in their primary geography rather than artificially manufacturing a connection.
