Update on Startupbootcamp Restructuring and the Ongoing Security of Your Investment
Dear Investors,
Following the recent communication from Startupbootcamp regarding the situation of A-ccelerator B.V., we would like to provide additional clarity from Nxchange. We understand that such news may raise questions, and we want to reassure you by outlining what this means for you and your investment.
Global restructuring within the Startupbootcamp network:
As part of a broader restructuring, the Amsterdam office will focus entirely on managing and growing the existing portfolio.
New startups will continue to be accelerated through other Startupbootcamp offices worldwide. This ensures that fully funded cohorts can still run their programs from the location that best fits their theme. Nothing changes for your investment.
Your investments remain safe:
The SPVs in which your investments are held are legally independent entities and are not affected by the bankruptcy of A-ccelerator B.V. The value, structure, and composition of your current startup portfolio remain fully intact.
Nxchange remains committed to the vertical:
The bankruptcy has no impact on the functioning of the Nxchange platform or the services you receive from us. Nxchange continues to welcome new investors into the vertical and supports Startupbootcamp in ensuring long-term value creation. The focus on growing and developing the existing participations remains unchanged.
In summary: the program continues, investor services remain stable, startup acceleration goes on within the global SBC network, and your investment remains secure.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out. We are here to support you and will keep you informed about any relevant updates.
Kind regards,
The Nxchange Team
Update on statutory director of the SPV
Dear shareholders,
With this message, we would like to inform you about a recent development in the governance structure of the program B.V.’s in which your current investments are held. On Monday, 24 November, A-ccelerator B.V. was declared bankrupt. Until now, this entity has acted as the statutory director of the SPVs in which you participate.
What does this mean for you?
We want to emphasize that this bankruptcy has no impact on the value, legal status, or composition of your existing startup portfolio. The SPVs are legally separate entities and do not fall under the bankruptcy. Your investment is safe.
Continuity of management
To safeguard the interests of the SPVs and your investment, the following steps are being taken:
- New director: A new statutory director for the SPVs will be proposed in the short term. We will inform you about this procedure in due course.
- Management and reporting: Day-to-day management, monitoring of the startups, and portfolio reporting will continue as you are used to from us.
Focus on the existing portfolio
A direct consequence of the situation at A-ccelerator B.V. is that, after completion of the current cohorts, no new startups will be added to the Dutch portfolio. The focus will therefore shift entirely to maximizing the value of the current participations (portfolio management).
We will keep you proactively informed about the progress regarding the appointment of the new director. Should you have any questions in the meantime, you can reach me at marc.jellema@startupbootcamp.org.
Kind regards,
Marc Jellema

Announcement: Update on Fundraising Activities via NXChange
As part of a global restructuring within the Startupbootcamp network, the Amsterdam office will move its focus to the management of the existing portfolio and will pause the activities for running programs to accelerate new cohorts.
Fundraising for BOLD2 will continue via NXChange and fully funded cohorts will have their programs run from a Startupbootcamp office that best fits the program theme.
Our focus in the Amsterdam office remains on the management and growth of the existing portfolio, ensuring that the value created through past programs continues to develop and deliver results over time.
Update – Settlement of Ascentys
Dear investors,
I would like to inform you about the settlement of Ascentys Sàrl, a participant in the SBC Sustainability 2023 program.
On 16 June 2025, Ascentys entered into an agreement with Planted GmbH (Germany) for the sale of its client base and active SaaS service contracts. The transaction was structured as an asset deal (no share transfer) and formed part of an orderly wind-down of the company’s operations.
In accordance with the agreement, Planted took over the clients Metalor, Kalexius, Red Bear Tech, and Anastopoulos Shipping. The financial settlement of the transaction was based on a commission per successfully transferred client, confirmed by an invoice dated 26 September 2025 for a total amount of €10,805.47.
Upon review, we found that the sale was not fully compliant with the provisions of the signed Shareholders Agreement (SHA). According to the SHA, such a transfer of core assets should have been submitted for prior approval by the shareholders, including SBC Sustainability 2123 B.V.
Given the limited financial materiality of the transaction and the company’s current wind-down status, we have decided not to pursue further legal action other than formal closure through a sale agreement, which includes standard warranties to safeguard our position as much as possible.
We trust this update provides you with sufficient information.
Kind regards,
Marc Jellema
On behalf of SBC Sustainability 2123 B.V.
Leadership change
Startupbootcamp announces that Joey Moreau (Chief Operating Officer) and Kauan von Novack Santos (Chief Executive Officer) have departed the company. Effective immediately, Marc Jellema has been appointed Chief Executive Officer and will lead the company in its next phase of growth.
