StartUp

"StartUp" centers around fifteen dynamic and ambitious young individuals who come together to build their own self-made businesses under one roof. The story unfolds in a spacious, yet empty building that serves as both their workplace and living quarters for some. Despite sharing the collective dream of entrepreneurial success, each character brings a unique perspective and approach, leading to diverse opinions and creative tensions as they strive to reach their goals.

At the heart of the narrative is Sterre de Vries, portrayed by Sarah Bannier, a driven and visionary young woman who is the catalyst behind this collaborative venture. Her determination and leadership are pivotal in uniting the group, while her personal life intertwines with the project's challenges. Adding complexity to the story is Bert de Vries, played by Daniël Boissevain, Sterre's father and the owner of the building, whose involvement adds layers of family dynamics and expectations to the mix.

The series weaves a rich tapestry of ambition, conflict, and camaraderie, highlighting not only the professional struggles of starting a business but also the personal stories of friendship, family ties, romance, and desire. "StartUp" presents a compelling exploration of youthful energy meeting real-world obstacles, filled with secrets, intrigues, and passionate relationships that make the journey as captivating as the destination.
