What collabwith does

Collabwith Group B.V. is a privately held Dutch company founded in 2018 and headquartered in Amsterdam at Oeverzeggestraat 28. It operates a digital collaboration platform at platform.collabwith.co that connects academics, startups, corporations, governments, and educational institutions through a search engine, request submission mechanism, negotiation forum, and integrated legal/payment system designed to structure cross-sector collaboration for innovation.

The company monetizes through four interlocking revenue streams: (1) tiered subscription memberships (free, Premium Individual at €490/year, Organizational at €4,900/year with 12-month minimums, and quote-based Ecosystem tiers); (2) SaaS White Label licensing for corporations, universities, accelerators, and regions wanting branded innovation ecosystem infrastructure; (3) consulting services grounded in 20+ proprietary canvases (Collaboration Canvas, Innovation Ecosystem Canvas, Business Plan Canvas) developed from the methodology book 'Innovation and Collaboration in the Digital Era' by CEO Jara Pascual; and (4) education revenue from the Collabwith Academy's 200+ curated masterclasses, bootcamps (e.g., 'From Ideas to EU Funding', 'Boost Your Creativity'), and corporate training programs.

The platform is anchored by EU policy influence — CEO Jara Pascual has served on the Knowledge4Innovation Forum board at the European Parliament since 2019, chairs the European IoT Alliance's Innovation Ecosystems working group, and advises the European Commission. Adjacent sub-brands include EuroSpaceHub (aerospace/aviation ecosystem), Coworkability (workplace harassment reporting with proprietary scoring), and QuantumGob (quantum technology). The customer base comprises 1,500+ academics, startups, and innovation professionals, plus 6 large-scale white-label ecosystem deployments; the company operates with 1–10 employees and has not disclosed external funding rounds.
