In this article, we have highlighted the Amsterdam-based startups that secured funding in October 2025, some of which are hiring.

The Dutch startup ecosystem saw a slowdown in funding activity in 2025 as investors became more careful and big funding rounds decreased. Data shows that total tech investment across the Netherlands declined by 26 per cent to €6.7B in the first nine months of the year, while venture funding in the third quarter fell 37 per cent quarter-on-quarter, reaching its lowest deal count in five years. 

Even with this drop, startups across the country continued to raise money in areas like energy, technology, and sustainability. Amsterdam remains the main centre for startup activity in the Netherlands. The city has about 1,219 startups, which is around 45 per cent of all startups in the country. 

In October 2025, Amsterdam-based startups raised over $100M across 18 funding rounds. Companies such as Return, TRACT, and Oneleet raised new funds and started hiring, showing that business activity in the city is still moving forward even as overall funding slows down.
