Anna Dolman is a business and marketing co-founder based in Utrecht, open to meeting collaborators and willing to put €15k of their own capital on the line. Read the three answers below — what motivates them, the kind of partner they want, the business they would build — and reach out directly if it resonates.

The three questions · in their own words
01 · What motivates them

Building the systems that let others do their best work. I'm motivated by taking what's stuck: a disorganized ops flow, a founder juggling five roles, a practice not scaled for growth, and architecting clarity and alignment. I'm energized by the moment when a team goes from scattered to connected, when bottlenecks dissolve and people can focus on what they're genuinely good at. That integration work is where I come alive.

02 · The partner they want

A founder or technical builder who owns their domain deeply. Someone with a clear vision but scattered operations. Someone brilliant at the core work but frustrated by the admin, systems, and coordination overhead. I work best with people who can see what needs fixing but prefer to focus on their genius. And ideally: a collaborative communicator. I'm a "sparrer". I think out loud, ask hard questions, challenge respectfully. I want someone who leans into that, not someone who needs cheerleading.

03 · The dream business

Building operational backbone for early-stage founders and scaling practices. Growing Dolmana into a small collective (not an agency) where a few fractional partners each specialize, one in ops, one in product, one in brand and we partner with founders/founders at different stages. I'm drawn to healthcare, tech, and the creator economy. The dream is founding impact through infrastructure: the founder gets to do their thing, the operations are bulletproof, and we exit cleanly when the business runs on its own. No forever retainers, just clean systems.
