Frequently asked questions

Do Amsterdam startups offer equity as part of compensation?

Many VC-backed startups in Amsterdam include stock options or equity in their compensation packages, particularly for early employees and senior hires. The Netherlands has favourable tax treatment for stock options under certain conditions, though vesting schedules and exercise terms vary widely. Always ask about the option pool size, strike price, and vesting cliff during the offer stage.

What is the WBSO and how does it benefit startup employees?

The WBSO (Wet Bevordering Speur- en Ontwikkelingswerk) is a Dutch tax credit for R&D activities. It reduces wage tax costs for companies doing technical innovation, which means startups can offer more competitive salaries for engineering and research roles. While the benefit goes to the employer, it indirectly supports higher pay and more R&D hiring at Dutch startups.

How do startup salaries in Amsterdam compare to corporate roles?

Base salaries at startups are typically 10-20% lower than at large corporates or scale-ups like Booking.com or Adyen. However, equity compensation can close that gap significantly if the company does well. Early-stage startups tend to offer the largest equity packages but lowest base pay, while Series B+ companies often approach corporate salary levels with meaningful equity upside.

How should I evaluate a startup offer in the Netherlands?

Look beyond base salary. Key things to assess: equity terms (option pool percentage, strike price, vesting schedule, exercise window after leaving), 30% ruling eligibility, pension contributions, and the company's runway and funding stage. Ask how many months of runway they have, what the last valuation was, and whether they plan to raise again soon. Dutch startups are generally transparent about these details if you ask.
