The Investor wrote that the Netherlands could only produce the next ASML if it accepted that the founder could become a billionaire. He referred to Constantijn van Oranje, who, according to him, had noted that startups were often embraced as long as they remained small and their founders did not become rich. According to The Investor, the Netherlands wanted to build global companies, but there was discomfort about the financial reward for entrepreneurs who had taken risks. He argued that those who had invested their own money, time, and security for years should be allowed to earn exceptionally if they succeeded.
