HSiF is The Hague Student Investment Fund. Founded in 2020 as a research project within the Research Group New Finance of THUAS, HSIF has since evolved into an independent foundation.
From the outset, HSIF’s mission has been to foster entrepreneurship among students in The Hague region by providing startup capital, offering financial and business advice, organizing workshops and events, and establishing a robust network and community.
HSIF operates with a student board that oversees all of HSIF’s student activities. This student board is supported by a statutory board to ensure continuity.
