Vincent van Elsas is a business and product co-founder, open to meeting collaborators and willing to put €30k 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.
“I'm motivated by building businesses that solve real problems and create long-term value. I enjoy turning chaos into structure, talking to customers, validate new ideas, improving products, and creating processes that allow a business to grow sustainably. I like to be a jack of all trades. I don't dream of building the next unicorn. I'd rather build a profitable company with the right people, where we enjoy the journey, make a real impact, and have the freedom to shape our own role and future.”
“I'm looking for someone who is passionate about their domain and has a strong vision, product, or customer problem to solve. Ideally, you're full of ideas but can't make it to the next phase. I value honesty, curiosity, ambition without ego, and a willingness to challenge each other while working toward the same goal.”
“A bootstrapped business with recurring revenue, happy customers, and a clear purpose that doesn't harm nature or people. I'm especially interested in social and sustainable innovations, such as waste management, bio diversity or food. I'd rather build a healthy company with steady growth than chase rapid fundraising and hypergrowth.”
