Yellowgrape is one of the 250 fastest growing companies in the Netherlands!

The Top 250 Growth Companies is an annual publication by the Erasmus Center for Entrepreneurship and nlgroeit. The publication is part of the long-term, multi-year study into fast-growing companies by the Erasmus Centre for Entrepreneurship and Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University.

In order to be included in the top 250, organizations must meet a number of conditions. For example, an organization must employ at least ten employees and/or have a turnover of at least five million euros at the beginning of the three-year measurement period.

Grow full throttle, with one foot on the brakes

The research started five years ago and goes beyond simply measuring growth. The aim of the research is to decipher the DNA of a scale up. The growth factors that make scale ups unique, how they can maintain rapid growth, become smarter and strengthen the growth core.

Growth is important for Yellowgrape as an organization because it creates opportunities for colleagues to develop — as people and as professionals. It is also important to be able to take new steps and to be challenged every time.

The growth of an organization is extra vulnerable in times of a crisis or pandemic. That is why we are incredibly proud that, despite the turbulent times, we have continued to grow and innovate!
