Wim van de Wall

“I have experienced how to turn an idea from startup -with bare hands- into a well-funded and growing scale-up. I have experienced this journey as challenging but extremely inspiring and rewarding. I am ready for the next "leap of faith". Building the first company is like landing in the middle of the jungle without a map, compass or tools: it can be scary but an adventure it certainly is. After 12 years of entrepreneurship, I left the entrepreneurial-jungle and took the easier road. I want to go back to this jungle of entrepreneurs. I want to use my experiences and expertise to find the way to the golden prize faster, more efficiently while avoiding the many pitfalls and booby-traps that are waiting for any founder. I have background as entrepreneur, nerd (non-ICT), engineer, and innovation manager for international industrial manufaturing companies.”

“My ideal partner is super-ambitious, has strengths in the execution of our mutual plans, is innovative and efficient with software- and AI-tools, has a good feeling for aesthetics and visual quality. My ideal partner lives in region of Eindhoven. Optionally in India. I would love to work with people that can be characterised as Hacker, Hustler of Hipster. A sounding board that cares about sustainability and understands that a company can grow only by feeding it profits. Cash is king.”

“I strive for selling physical products and productized services that benefit people and planet. I have several ideas for starting the business. As I have strong competences and skills in renewables, marketing, business development, R&D and internationalisation, I have defined my dream business in these areas where I can build upon my expertise and network. I want to grow rocksolid and fast.”
