About us

In the Netherlands there is a saying that goes ‘too big for the napkin, but too small for the tablecloth’. This seems to be the case when scaling up your business; you have survived the startup phase, but the stability of a full grown company has net yet been achieved. This scale-up phase can be particularly difficult and founders are often seeking for business advice to tackle the different challenges they encounter.
Since 2020 Frank & the Backs fills this gap by offering growing ventures support through mentorship of entrepreneurial professionals, so called Backs. Thus providing practical and quality advice for an affordable price.
