Chris bakker is a business and marketing co-founder based in Hoorn, open to meeting collaborators and willing to put €500k 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

“I love turning ambitious ideas into successful businesses. Over the past 20 years, I've built and scaled companies internationally. What drives me today is the opportunity to create something new, especially where technology and AI can make a real difference. I enjoy strategy, innovation, solving complex problems and working with talented people. For me, entrepreneurship is about building something valuable, having fun along the way and creating long-term success.”

02 · The partner they want

“An ambitious, entrepreneurial and technically strong co-founder, ideally with experience in software development and AI. Someone who loves building products, takes ownership and turns ideas into reality. I bring business experience, strategy, commercial expertise, an international network and investment capacity. I'm looking for someone with complementary skills, a hands-on mentality, integrity and a good sense of humor. Chemistry and mutual trust are essential.”

03 · The dream business

“A scalable, technology-driven company with international potential. I'm particularly interested in AI, SaaS, innovative platforms and business models that solve real problems. Ideally, we create a product that can grow internationally with recurring revenue and limited operational complexity. I'm open to different industries and ideas. The right opportunity, a strong business model and an exceptional team matter more to me than a specific sector.”
