What motivates you

"Talking about climate change is one of the most important things we can do. However most people don't. It's hard and those who try end up in akward situations and counter-productive outcome. Existing learning solutions are not accessible and require investment in time or money, serving a limited self-motivated audience. I'm a UX designer with a lot of experience in start-ups, prototypes/mock-ups and user research (MVP experiments, surveys, interviews, journey map) and open-minded."

The ideal partner

"Do you have a strong desire to make an impact on climate change? You have enough experience in the online space (apps, SaaS) and start-up strategy. Nice if you have product management experience, an interest in psychology or behavioural change. Ideally aged 30+."

The dream business

"A personalised, self-paced e-learning platform for learning how to talk about climate with your peers. Strong in gamification and eventually part of a multi-purpose platform to include a community and safe practice spaces (AI). Together we build a team, set the business/product strategy, consult experts (I'm well connected) and set out to learn and launch!"

What motivates you

"I'm building software that is meant to solve a problem I'm having, and I know that it has potential to help others as well. Ultimately, I would like to start a business that pays the bills, as opposed to trading my time for money."

The ideal partner

"I'm looking for a Dutch speaker (ideally native) who has sales experience. Ideally, marketing experience would help a lot as well. Some other nice-to-haves would be to find someone who owns (or has owned) a home in a small VvE. Even more ideal would be someone who has experience being the chairman of a small VvE."

The dream business

"I'm currently working on an app in an attempt to disrupt VvE management. Most homeowners—including myself—are extremely unhappy with their VvE beheerders. Thus, I want to build an app that helps small VvEs manage themselves in order to save both their money and their sanity. I've gotten pretty far, but I could use more input, Dutch translations, and help with getting customers. Email: grardb@gmail.com"
