Bianca van Dulmen brings an unusual combination of chemistry academic training and 25+ years in complex B2B enterprise software sales to her venture capital work at FORWARD.one, giving her a distinctly technical and sales-focused perspective compared to most VCs who come from finance or consulting backgrounds. She specializes as a post-investment commercial accelerator for deeptech and hardware startups, coaching founders on enterprise selling strategies, structuring first sales hires, and building repeatable sales processes rather than focusing primarily on deal sourcing or traditional board oversight.

Notable Investments
FORWARD.one is one of the few European VCs built explicitly around hardware-first deeptech, investing only in industrial tech and deeptech with hardware or hardware-software angles while deploying up to 20% of their fund into single companies and following through from Seed to Series C/D. They operationalize their commercialization focus by training TU Delft engineering students using the same investment framework they use internally, positioning themselves as solving Europe's commercialization gap between technical university spinouts and scalable industrial businesses.
