Nobody scales alone!

Season 07 of Startup Passport by Frontwalker continues with Episode 03 - Lars Crama, CEO of InnovationQuarter and the founding father of Upstream Festival. After building and scaling businesses himself, Lars shifted his focus to helping entrepreneurs succeed by creating stronger connections between founders, investors, universities, corporates, and public partners. His work has played a key role in growing an ecosystem where startups don't just launch -they scale. In this episode, Lars shares why great startups need more than funding to grow, how collaboration fuels innovation, and why startup ecosystems are essential for turning ambitious ideas into successful businesses. He also discusses the mindset of successful founders, the importance of grit and coachability, and why the next breakthrough often happens where different industries intersect. This new season brings conversations with founders, innovators, investors and ecosystem leaders shaping the future of entrepreneurship, in partnership with Erasmus Enterprise and the NL Startup Competition. These conversations are powerful, inspiring, and game-changing, and we can't wait for you to hear them. Stay tuned! New episodes dropping soon!
