Dutch climate tech start-up Proba selected for ScaleNL Accelerator West Coast 2026 to accelerate US market entry

Dutch start-up Proba joins ScaleNL Accelerator West Coast 2026 to expand into the US market for agri-food fertilizer emission reductions.

AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS, April 30, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Proba, a start-up quantifying and certifying Scope 3 emission reductions in the agri-food supply chain, has been selected to join the ScaleNL Accelerator West Coast 2026 cohort. The 12-week program, initiated by the Dutch government, supports ambitious Dutch (deep)tech companies to build a competitive position in the US market.

Proba is one of five Dutch startups selected for the West Coast 2026 cohort following an intensive application and selection process. The program covers go-to-market strategy, fundraising, and pitching, with weekly expert-led sessions. The end of the program concludes with a 6-day business trip to San Francisco and Los Angeles to meet US investors, partners, and ecosystem leaders.

Earlier this year, Proba raised €1.25 million to grow its presence in the United States and Brazil, two markets where fertilizer-related emissions represent a significant share of agri-food Scope 3 footprints.

“The US is one of the world's largest agricultural markets, with fertilizer-related emissions representing such a significant share of agri-food footprints, there's a real opportunity to drive meaningful reductions today.” said Sijbrand Tieleman, CEO and Co-Founder of Proba. “We’re excited to join the ScaleNL cohort and accelerate our path to building meaningful partnerships and commercial traction in the US.”
