This website was founded on a sunny summer afternoon in a coffee bar in Amsterdam. As a young entrepreneur starting my first businesses, I thought that it was important to be visible on the internet.
Now, just a couple of years later, I am building Findest into an accelerator of technology development by helping businesses scout technological innovations. Our goal is to get to 10.000 innovations within 10 years. You are always welcome at our office on the Herengracht 420 in the city center of Amsterdam.
Next to building Findest, I live in Amsterdam together with my friends and family. I swim a lot and still sail the Amsterdamse Grachten with the boat I have since I was 16.
About my passions
In everything I do, I believe in making a difference by combining my passions for entrepreneurship, nanotechnologies, and investments.
My passion for entrepreneurship started very early and crystallized seven years ago by starting my first company. This entrepreneurial mindset allows me to think in possibilities and turning visions into realistic objectives. My passion for nanotechnology started when I heard about the possibility to obtain magical material characteristics with this great new branch of science. This passion helps me to create innovative solutions for Nanonow clients. My passion for investing helps me to consider risk/return tradeoffs and analyze the profitability of new technologies.
Experiences in the past years helped me to develop my passions further and aim for lasting global impact. For instance in dozens of consultancy projects as a partner at Clearfields SIX and by accelerating nanotechnology adoption for Nanonow clients and at Findest. I've learned to aim high and reach goals by gathering the right people and answering the right questions. By applying my passions in these projects I believe I have already started to make a difference.
