Job description
Achmea Impact Ventures is the Venture Studio of Achmea. We build startups from day one — with Achmea capital, a full studio team, external founders, and a pool of freelancers who join ventures for short or longer periods. That’s where you come in.
We’re building a small, selective talent pool of freelance professionals who excel in early-stage environments (pre-seed to Series A). We look for talent in roles like Sales/Growth, Marketing, Software Development, UI/UX, Product, CTO/Tech Lead and similar profiles.
This is not an open vacancy. We collect profiles so we can move fast when a relevant role opens up in one of our ventures (this happens regularly throughout the year). If there’s a match, we reach out.
People join our pool so they’re the first to know when a role comes up in an exciting startup, with Achmea backing and real traction.
Non-negotiables:
- Freelance availability
- Demonstrable early-stage experience (pre-seed to Series A) with clear ownership + outcomes
- Your experience must include 0→1 building (not only scaling an existing playbook)
- Able to work from our Amsterdam office at least 2 days/week
- Valid working rights in the Netherlands (NO visa sponsorship)
- You can operate independently, find creative solutions, but also happily work within pre-set ways of working
2–3 Quantifiable 0→1 outcomes at a startup within your domain:
For example:
- Built first GTM motion and generated €X pipeline / X SQLs in Y months
- Closed first X paying customers or reached €X MRR/ARR from zero
- Shipped MVP 0→live in X weeks and scaled to X users / X requests/day
- Set up the first team/process and increased shipping cadence from X → Y releases/week
- designed and shipped core MVP flows that improved activation from X% → Y% (or reduced drop-off X% → Y%) within Z weeks
Our roles are probably not suitable if:
- primarily do advisory / strategy-only work
- prefer to work with playbooks, or need a fully defined corporate setup before you can start
- prefer remote-only or occasional office visits
- Are only looking for long-term assignements
Shape the future with us

Co-Founder & CTO Linkspan
Linkspan is building an AI agent that independently handles the intake of planned ambulance trips. The first product is ready, the first client is on board and now we're going live. We're looking for a hands-on CTO to take technical leadership alongside founder Lauren Vierhoven. You get the agent production-ready, complete the required integrations, and lay the foundation for what comes next. Not a management role; you write code yourself. Backed by Achmea Impact Ventures. Equity plus hourly rate.
