About us

In the Netherlands, there’s a saying: “too big for the napkin, too small for the tablecloth”. It describes the scale-up phase – past the startup stage, but not yet a fully stable company. This stage can be challenging, and founders often seek business advice to navigate it.

Since 2020, Frank & the Backs has been filling this gap by supporting growing ventures through tailored programs, including mentorship by experienced entrepreneurs – our Backs – delivering practical, high-quality advice at an affordable price.
