The ideal partner

"My ideal partner has a strong sense for business, organization, and innovation. Someone who can turn a promising concept into a clear offer, a simple go-to-market plan, and real customer conversations. They’re curious, practical, and low-ego, and excited to build and iterate together while we find product–market fit."

What motivates you

"I am motivated by fixing everyday inefficiencies and unnecessary complexity. We can do better. Based in Amsterdam, I am surrounded by highly capable people, and I am driven to bring that potential together through sparring and sharp thinking to reach optimal solutions. Repetitive, outdated processes—like oversharing personal data or poorly structured organizations—frustrate me. I am inspired by elegant product solutions, clean architectures, and simplicity that creates real impact."

The ideal partner

"My ideal partner complements me by being more outward-facing and strong on marketing and storytelling. Speaking Dutch is important. I value someone who is critical, honest, and comfortable challenging ideas with constructive feedback. Always in service of improvement. Open-mindedness, adaptability, and speed of iteration matter a lot. I am looking for a true sparring partner who helps sharpen ideas and execution, not someone who simply agrees."

The dream business

"My dream business tackles the problem of identity and entity verification. Today, services collect far more personal data than needed. Instead, users should share proofs, not data. By leveraging secure enclaves, encryption, NFC, and on-device face recognition, verified documents can live on the device and generate secure verification tokens on demand. No servers, no data leakage, instant and privacy-first verification. Imagine digiD level of ease, but for more docs, and verification types!"

What motivates you

"I’m driven to develop and build my own company within the mobility sector, with the goal of making a fundamental contribution to the transition toward sustainable, digital, and circular mobility. I believe mobility can be smarter, more efficient, and more user-friendly — and I see a unique opportunity to realize this through an all-in-one mobility application. The challenge of creating something valuable and scalable from a strategic vision is what energizes me."

The ideal partner

"I'm looking for a technically strong co-founder — ideally an experienced IT developer or solution architect with a good sense for scalable solutions. Someone who’s communicative, proactive, and excited to build an innovative product from scratch. The idea and business model are already in place; now I need someone to help shape and build the tech side. Experience with large-scale enterprise projects and complex system integrations (APIs, mobility platforms, payment systems) is key."

The dream business

"My dream is to build a tech-driven mobility company that radically simplifies sustainable travel for users by integrating all mobility options into one intuitive application. Think public transport, shared mobility, taxis, bikes, e-scooters — all in one ecosystem. It should be a company that creates real impact: socially relevant, future-focused, and clearly contributing to sustainable urban mobility."

What motivates you

"The challenge, the desire to innovate, and the pursuit of meaningful impact. I'm driven by the idea that business can be a vehicle for deep transformation—personally, socially, and systemically. I love building things that others say are too complex or idealistic—especially when they empower people to live with more purpose, resilience, and wellbeing."

The ideal partner

"Someone who isn’t afraid to get wet—who embraces uncertainty, learns fast, and keeps a grounded sense of humor. Ideally, they’re a strategic thinker with emotional intelligence, and they value clarity, co-creation, and ethical ambition. They’re someone who can challenge me, complement my vision, and bring their own mastery to the table—whether it’s product, design, tech, or finance."

The dream business

"A system-shifting venture that harmonizes inner transformation with outer innovation. At its core, it blends wellbeing, technology, and community—like a platform that helps people heal, grow, and thrive, while also regenerating local economies and reimagining finance, education, and leadership. Think a fusion of Samadhi’s Secrets, the BUCC local crypto network, and purpose-driven AI—scientific, soulful, and scalable."

What motivates you

"I’m passionate about building products that creatively solve real problems—blending tech, creativity, and everyday habits to create a future where fashion is more sustainable and accessible for everyone."

The ideal partner

"Looking for a hands-on co-founder who brings either technical development skills — someone who can help build and iterate on the platform itself — or a (online) marketing expert who can shape and grow the Loosh brand into a movement. Ideally, someone who’s data-driven, creative, and hungry to test, learn, and scale. I value energy, ownership, and a bias toward action. Most importantly, I’m looking for someone who believes in the mission & shares the startup mindset."

The dream business

"My dream business challenges the way we currently consume fashion. I want to build a platform that redefines our relationship with clothing — shifting from ownership to access, from impulse to intention. A product that makes it easier, more fun, and more sustainable to express yourself through style without constantly buying new things. I believe we can change habits at scale if we offer something that’s not only better for the planet, but also simply works better for people."
