[Job description]
You’ve spotted a problem worth solving.
Maybe you’ve started sketching, wireframing, or talking to users. But you want to move faster — and build it right.
How do I validate demand properly? How do I build a real MVP? How do I find a technical co-founder? How do I get funding — without giving away half the company?
That’s where we come in.
At Achmea Impact Ventures, we’re a venture studio. We back product-driven founders who bring strong ideas and want the right structure, support, and team to build a real startup around it. You bring the product vision. We help you turn it into a company.
What we do
Achmea Impact Ventures is a venture studio — we build digital-first startups from scratch, together with founders. In the early stages, we act as temporary co-founders: hands-on where needed, stepping back as your team and confidence grow. You’re always in the lead.
That means:
- You bring a clear idea that fits within one of our focus areas
- We support you with a founder fee, staged funding, and a dedicated team of experts
- Together, we validate the problem, build the MVP, and take it to market
- If successful, we spin out the company — with you in the lead and significant equity in your pocket
What you’ll do
As the Founding CPO, you’ll:
- Validate user needs and sharpen the problem statement with our researchers — data decides, not gut feeling
- Shape the product roadmap and define the MVP scope
- Work closely with developers, designers, and data engineers to build and test the product
- Lead early user testing, feedback cycles, and feature prioritisation
- Build and lead the product team as the venture grows
- Work alongside a technical co-founder if matched during the process
What you get
Funding From €50K p to €550K, provided in stages based on traction. No external fundraising needed.
Founder fee Paid from day one so you can go all in no financial pressure while you build.
A team of experts Product designers, data engineers, software engineers, marketers, and researchers who jump in exactly when you need them. No fixed programme — just what your venture needs.
Achmea’s network Achmea can open doors, be your first customer, or connect you with the right partners. 200 years of experience, 10 million customers, and a network that others spend years building.
Founder Development Individual coaching on your skills as an entrepreneur, peer learning sessions with other founders in a safe environment, and mentorship from our network — because building yourself is just as important as building the venture.
Founder equity Up to 70–80% at spin-out. You built it. You own it.
Ventures built with us
- FemmeUp — Women’s health platform tackling absenteeism. Used our network to land B2B clients.
- Alex AI — Legal AI assistant trained on millions of historical claims.
- Lekkerbezig — SaaS product supporting employee development for large employers.

What we’re looking for
You:
- Have a clear idea — ideally with early user feedback, sketches, or mockups
- Have built and shipped digital products before
- Have strong experience in product leadership as a CPO, product manager, or founder
- Deeply understand user research, problem validation, and product discovery
- Want to build a company not just ship a feature
- Are fully committed this is not a side project
- Are open to working closely with a technical co-founder and shaping the business together
- Are obsessed with the problem, not just the solution
Your idea must be digital-first and fit one of our domains:
- Health & Wellbeing
- Future of Work
- Sustainable Action
- Healthy Finances (non-insurance only)
We don’t build:
- Hardware or physical products
- Crypto, medtech, or science-based tech
- Solutions reliant on third-party IP or systemic policy change
- Tools built solely for internal use at Achmea
- Prevention-only or single-use concepts
- Vague behavioural ideas without a clear business model
