Job description

Turn your idea into a high-growth digital startup with a full team to support you, salary, €900K in phased funding, Achmea’s network & experts.

You’ve got a product idea.

You see a problem.
You have an idea for a product that solves it.
Maybe you’ve started sketching, wireframing, or talking to users.

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 act as a venture builder and back product-driven founders who bring strong ideas but need the right structure, support, and team to build a real startup.

You bring the product vision.
We’ll help you turn it into a company.

What we do

Achmea Impact Ventures is a corporate startup studio—we create startups from scratch.

We become your co-founder.

That means:

You bring a clear product idea that fits within one of our focus areas

We support you with a salary, funding (up to €500K), and a dedicated team

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 with significant equity for you.

What you’ll do

As the CPO-founder, you’ll:

Validate user needs and sharpen the problem statement with our researchers

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 prioritization

Build and lead the product team as the venture grows

Work alongside a technical co-founder (if matched during the process)

What we offer

Funding: Up to €500K, provided in stages based on traction

Salary: You’ll be paid from day one to focus full-time on the venture

Dedicated build team: Product designers, data engineers, software engineers, marketers, and researchers

Network access: Achmea can open doors, be your first customer, or connect you with partners

Structured process: Clear milestones, commercial sparring, and founder coaching

Founder equity: up to 70%

Examples of ventures built with us

FemmeUp: Women’s health platform tackling absenteeism. Used our network to land B2B clients.

You’ve built and shipped digital products before

You have strong experience in product leadership — e.g., as a CPO, product manager, or founder

You deeply understand user research, problem validation, and product discovery

You want to build a company, not just ship a feature
