How to start your own Startup in Residence programme?

On this page we have gathered all tools, resources and links to inspire and help guide you in the
process of building your own Startup in Residence Programme. By sharing tips and insights from the
collective knowledge of all SIR editions in Amsterdam en the Netherlands, the following tools are
created: the Startup in Residence Manual, the Pianoo Instruction Manual, the MOOC (Dutch only)
and the Impact Report.

Startup in Residence Manual

Do you want to explore new ways of working? Set up and run a SIR programme? Or develop and/or
expand an existing SIR programme?

This toolkit is a step-by-step guide to set-up and run a SIR programme. It is a workbook with “how-
to’s” per step, worksheets and insights from previous programmes and contains a library with useful
attachments. Use this toolkit to run a SIR programme from beginning to end. Or, pick the elements
you want to use in your SIR programme, skipping those less relevant to you. It’s a clickable pdf, so do
jump around.
