Startups in the 2020 – 2021 accelerator
The following cleantech start-ups are participating in the 2020 – 2021 BeStart accelerator programme. The alumni from other years can be found here.
Dairy Applications
Founder: Edwin van Ens
Product: Dairy Applications’ mission is to support dairy farmers with our product. The developed software was made for and by dairy farmers. It is intended to modernize and optimize the feeding process. The simple use allows more efficient feeding and creates stability within the production process. This reduces the waste of feed ingredients, money and time. This gives the dairy farmers more time to get the most out of their business in an efficient manner, thinking of themselves, the company and the environment.
BeStart goals: To reach more customers and expand the network to get more out of the market. We are also very curious about how the customer sees us as a company and how we can lower the barrier to the customer.”

Dungse
Founders: Itika Gupta en Lindey Cafsia
Product: Dungse is a range of 16 new circular material composites made out of cow-dung. These materials are low cost, biobased, circular and easily manufacturable. Dungse can be used to substitute materials like wood and plastic, and can be used to optimise materials like concrete and ceramic. We don’t just design products out of Dungse, we also help organizations shift to circularity by reinventing their products with Dungse.
BeStart goals: We’re looking at expanding our research and testing of the material, building a network of business that are eager to become more sustainable and refine our business model to help mainstream Dungse as a popular and sustainable building material.

Eatcup
Founder: Jelte Steur
Product: Eatcup is a solution to enjoy your own food, on the go. E.g. enjoying your own muesli while driving. With Eatcup, taking a bite is as easy as taking a sip of coffee.
Eatcup is easy to clean in the dishwasher and therefore fully reusable. This prevents the use of single use packaging of granola bars and drink yoghurts.
BeStart goals: From working prototype to a first launch in the market. With the knowledge and network of Bestart the speed as well as the chances of a successful launch will increase.
