Data Engineer

Your own freelance consultancy startup

Startup Accelerator offers Data & AI consultants a kickstart to becoming independent, freelance consultants. We've helped Data Scientists, Machine Learning Engineers, MLOPs Engineers, Data Engineers, and Cloud Developers / Engineers find consultancy projects they love since 2014 at companies like Heineken, KLM, ING, Vattenfall, and Randstad Group. Every project is carefully selected based on technical challenge, team expertise, and mutual fit.

How does it work?

We connect you with your first project at a company of your choice and take you through every step of establishing your own freelance consultancy company — all before ending your current employment contract. Instead of a fixed salary, you earn 75% of the hourly rate — which is around €12,000 per month, depending on your ideal work-life balance. After one year, you are ready to fly on your own without Startup Accelerator.
