Constantijn LET Award 2023

Matthijs Welle of Mews wins LET Award 2023

Matthijs Welle, the founder and CEO of Mews has been unanimously awarded the inaugural LET Award! The jury was impressed by Matthijs' journey and entrepreneurial ambition. Despite the challenges of working in a notoriously difficult industry which uses outdated systems, Matthijs has managed to build Mews into a market leader. What really set him apart is the jury’s belief in the possibility for Mews to scale and expand internationally, with an already growing global footprint. This serves as a great example for the Dutch tech ecosystem, encouraging more ambitious international growth. Having spent much of his time building Mews abroad, Matthijs is relatively unknown in the Dutch ecosystem. However, his recent return to the Netherlands (just 3 days ago), and the LET Award, present an opportunity for him to become a fantastic ambassador, showcasing the potential of entrepreneurship in the Netherlands.

What is the LET award?

This brand new award was sparked by LOEY, the prestigious award for the "Leading Online Entrepreneur of the Year”, which in 2022 was awarded for the last time. The new LET Award aims to recognise the fact that the tech industry is now much broader than just online. As a catalyst for the Dutch Tech Ecosystem and with the support of the LOEY Community, we are honored to continue to be able to award exceptional entrepreneurship within the Netherlands - and to expand it within the tech landscape!
