Vectrix BV, operating under the name NextStage Business Angel Fund, is an Amsterdam-headquartered advisory firm founded in 1997 that specializes in Dutch R&D tax incentive and innovation financing services for technology companies. Its core offering is assistance with the WBSO (Wet Bevordering Speur- en Ontwikkelingswerk), a Dutch R&D tax credit for software, product, and technology development, complemented by advisory on the Innovation Box fiscal regime, which allows qualifying companies to pay a reduced 9% corporate income tax on innovative profits.

Beyond subsidies, Vectrix extends into venture capital deal advisory and international growth support across Europe, the US, and Asia, plus accountancy and tax services, positioning itself as an integrated finance partner for Dutch software, AI, deep tech, food, bio, and med tech companies. Revenue is generated primarily through professional services fees on a quote-based, multi-year engagement structure, with a sales-led go-to-market supported by webinars, free online intake interviews, and a subsidy diagnostic scan tool. The firm is privately held (KvK 34226716), founder-led by co-founder and managing partner Michel Simons, and operates from a single headquarters at Science Park 400 in Amsterdam with 11-50 employees. Named customers include TSMC, Eurofins, Textkernel, Foleon, Kepler, and The Valley.
