My Co-Founder runs his own agency. Many people think this a bad setup. Tom Louwagie, our CTO runs his own agency, Minimum Code However, he is also Chief Technology Officer at Designair. Tom and I have created a unique collaboration. In essence, we are both building our companies together. I think this makes us Co-founders. Here's how it works: - Tom builds our product with his team at Minimum Code. - As we grow, he hires new talent - UX/UI, Bubble development, Qualtity Assurance - for his company to work on Designair's SaaS platform. So Tom grows his company. - This setup allows Designair to scale efficiently and innovate faster, since we have a team with the right skills. Many folks in the Investment community have advised me against relying too much on agencies and freelancers. They all point out that an agency is not nearly as comitted as employees who own a stake in Designair. They are not wrong. But when the agency and Startup decide to grow their business together, this changes the game. We both remain owners of our firms. We're both committed like crazy to make it work for both sides. Tom’s role as CTO is crucial. He leads our product development and ensures we have the right skills on board. His dual role means he’s deeply invested in our success. The benefits of this arrangement are clear: - We started with Tom and me working on the product. - As we needed more help, Tom took on the role of principal architect and leader of the team. - He hires the right people to help us grow, which also helps his own company expand. Tom and I are now discussing how to improve our quality assurance and testing before launching new features. His dedication and collaborative spirit are invaluable. This partnership is a true example of how teamwork can lead to great achievements. I’m grateful for Tom’s trust and hard work. A big "thank you" for Tom and Minimum Code. What unique partnerships have helped your business grow? #Innovation #Partnerships #Leadership

We recently touched on how to pick the best European country to incorporate your startup. To continue that discussion, I’d like to tell you about a few European countries that offer residence permits through their Startup Visa programs. Here are some worth considering: 🇳🇱 1. Netherlands: Their program grants a one-year residence permit to startup founders, with the option to extend it later as a self-employed. To qualify, you need an innovative business plan and must work with a recognized facilitator, like a business incubator. I'll share some details with you later. 🇪🇪 2. Estonia: The Startup Visa allows entrepreneurs to develop their projects and hire foreign workers. To be eligible, your startup should show a high level of innovation and growth potential. 🇫🇮 3. Finland: They offer a Start-up Permit for foreign entrepreneurs, allowing them to work in Finland while building innovative projects. The application is assessed based on your business plan and growth potential. 🇵🇹 4. Portugal: With the Startup Visa program, founders get a residence permit to grow their projects in Portugal. Your project needs to be innovative and have the potential to create jobs. 🇪🇸 5. Spain: Spain’s "Entrepreneur Visa" program offers a residence permit for startup founders. Your startup should contribute to the country’s economy and be innovative. 🇫🇷 6. France: The French Tech Visa program is designed for startup founders, investors, and employees of tech companies. To qualify, you’ll need an innovative business plan and approval from the French Tech program. 🇱🇹 7. Lithuania: Lithuania’s Startup Visa is available for entrepreneurs looking to launch their innovative business in the country. You need to demonstrate both growth potential and an innovative business model. 🇮🇪 8. Ireland: The "Start-up Entrepreneur Programme" offers a residence permit to those who plan to invest in innovative business projects in Ireland. These are just a few countries with similar programs. Each has its own requirements for both the applicant and the startup, so be sure to do your research before applying. In my next post, I’ll dive into more countries offering these types of programs. If you have specific questions, feel free to ask in the comments! #venturecapital #startups #innovation #technology #founders #immigration #startupvisa

Are Dutch and European founders not ambitious enough? 🤔 I just read Techleap's latest report: "AI Scaling Challenges for Dutch Founders." (Okay, I got AI to read it and share the highlights with me. 😜) This quote caught my (& Claude's) eye: "𝘞𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘥 𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘢𝘭 𝘪𝘧 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 4% 𝘰𝘧 𝘋𝘶𝘵𝘤𝘩 𝘈𝘐 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘴𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 10𝘔. 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘱𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘧𝘶𝘭 𝘢𝘮𝘣𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯..." Almost every day, I see posts and jokes about European founders thinking too small. As someone who works with Euro-founders everyday, I have a different view. I see: - Massive visions - Global mindsets from day one - Founders ready to take on the world It's not the founders who lack ambition. They're just working within the realms of what's possible in Europe. That's why many of them get funded from and/or move to the US. 💰 The real lack of ambition? That's from investors and governments in Europe. 🇪🇺 I'm still working on an article, "The Case for European Optimism." And I think it will show that European founders are just as ambitious as their US counterparts. The real question we should be asking is: - How can we create an environment that allows founders to dream bigger and reach higher? 🚀 And yes, I know this quotes mentions deep ecosystem issues... --- ↳ What's your take? Are European founders thinking too small, or is it the ecosystem that's holding them back? 👇

How to structure your venture studio SaaS portfolio company right from the start Venture studios are keen on creating SaaS portfolio companies. If structured right, SaaS companies can become profitable cash machines for venture studios. Combining fifteen years of experience with SaaS business models and researching venture builders for a PhD project, these are my five major learnings: 🔗As most SaaS products may be copied. Excellent distribution and long-term customer relationships are crucial. Long-term and strong relationships impact many important KPI's including ARR growth, Churn, NPS and eNPS. ➡️For venture studios, that means building on the existing network to creating legitimacy for the portfolio start-up. ---- 🚥A streamlined organization where everyone knows what to do makes recruiting during scaling much easier. Hiring too fast, before the need of more team members occurs, may hinder efficiency. Create job descriptions, routines and procedures for the organization open enough not risking losing founder mode. ➡️For venture studios, that means knowing what competence to look for in different states. Use accumulated knowledge timing and managing recruitment as best as possible. ---- 📈 Keep track on the blended CAC ratio. Inefficiency and high cost in acquiring new ARR will eat up your EBITDA margins. Most B2C SaaS gets scalable through higher numbers of customers. In B2B SaaS, expansion, cross-selling, and price increases are fundamental for fast growth. ➡️For venture studios, that means share customer databases, cross-sell as much as possible, and develop a value-based pricing structure as soon as possible. ---- 🔁 Having routines and procedures in place capitalizing from a management quality system (we used ISO) helps bringing your start-up from a healthy creative chaos to an efficient scale-up. ➡️For venture studios, that means creating a management quality system and put it in place in each portfolio company will help increase speed of development and growth. ---- 💻 An understanding that an intuitive and ‘friendly’ user interface with few bugs in the product, allow support and customer success to be part of the sales organization focusing on the core product, rather than being a business unit trying to help customers handle an in-efficient product to avoid churn. ➡️For venture studios, that means accumulate knowledge in software development in relation to user friendliness and learn from previous start-up attempts to avoid churn. From your experience, what other learnings should be added here? #venturestudio #venturebuilder #entrepreneurship #scaling #saas ________________________________ Did you like this post?

'Don’t trust, verify' is the bedrock of crypto. But who verifies market makers? A year ago, Jelle Buth and me came up with a clear answer. Slightly more than 12 months ago, we co-founded Enflux. We were troubled by the perception of market makers as orchestrators of pump-and-dump schemes, exploiters of retail investors, and generally untrustworthy market players. This reputation exists because market making remains a 'black box' to most. We decided Enflux would open that box. Jelle Buth repeatedly says that token adoption is a function of three: - Fundamentals - Marketing - Markets Unfortunately, many founders are completely alienated from trading markets. Just a few understand how market makers use their funds, leaving them with no choice but to blindly trust. 'We've had 100 clients, so you should trust us' becomes the standard pitch. And the premium founders pay solely for reputation is TREMENDOUS. Opaque markets drive the need for reputation, which in turn inflates market making costs for smaller projects. Imagine what happens to price and quality of services when anyone dictates a monopoly for too long. To sum it up, Jelle Buth and I spotted a discrepancy between what token projects need and what they actually get. We've seen too many projects rise and fall, too many charts tank, too many unethical actors... We decided 'no more' and founded a market making company where transparency and awareness are priorities. Market makers should empower projects with both the knowledge and the tools to verify performance. Trust, but verify. Always. #market #marketmaker #crypto #trading

Want a free website performance audit? I’m looking for a website to use in my https://perfnow.nl/ talk. What I need is a site with: • A fair number of third-party scripts • An owner willing to let me experiment on a dev server to see the relative impact of perf improvements • An owner willing to either help validate that third-party scripts are still work or willing to give me access so I can check myself • An owner that will let me publish the results of my tests and talk about them at the conference The site owner would benefit from the following: • Free performance audit with an emphasis on how to speed up third-party scripts • If the experiments are successful, they can deploy them and speed up their site • Publicity at the conference and on our blog • Answers about their site performance and what they can do to improve it (beyond just third-party scripts) Does anyone have any suggestions on good candidate sites?

I did something crazy. No, it wasn’t jumping out of a plane. I hired two strategic chief commercial executives for my scale-up (Alexander Adema & Bart Koetsier). Why? Because one of the most challenging aspects of growing a startup is scaling the commercial side of the business. I see repeatedly how the startups we are asked to help struggle with this. And it’s a common concern echoed by private equity and venture capital investors. Many companies that reach product-market fit fail to scale commercially, with over 50% of startups failing within five years due to difficulties managing this phase. Why? Because strategic commercial chief executives often bring high-level thinking and long-term planning. But early-stage startups need more immediate, hands-on solutions while also keeping an eye on the ball in the long run. And one candidate might not cover all the bases. While one might be good at one thing, the other might be good at another. So why not unite forces and combine strengths? Where one candidate can focus on creating a strong commercial presence, the other can scale operations. And at the end of the day, each focuses on what they are good at: driving commercial growth while they complement each other’s strengths. The idea might sound like jumping out of a plane without a parachute. But sometimes, dividing to conquer pays out if there’s a well-thought strategy behind it. #leadership

Ever wonder why sometimes ignoring client requests can lead to better outcomes? At August Venture Talent, we excel in helping startups, scaleups, and growth companies hire exceptional talent. We measure success not just by client satisfaction, but by their genuine excitement about their new hires. So, why might I seem to ignore initial client specifications? When a client requests a candidate with, say, 10 years of experience, I ask, “What are you really looking to achieve with this hire?” It’s not always the years that count, but the impact they will have. By focusing on what the hiring leader truly needs—the exact skills, mindset, and cultural alignment to drive extraordinary results—we often discover that the perfect match might not fit the original specification to the letter but far exceeds expectations in crucial ways. We're strategic partners, not order takers. By questioning assumptions and expanding possibilities, we help clients achieve their vision—even when that vision evolves through our collaboration. My ultimate goal is to exceed what our clients imagine possible.

In this weeks newsletter (out today) discover 1. The prompt I used 2. How all the main AI’s performed doing this task 3. For the cost of a coffee an additional deep prompt walk through of using a data driven approach to try for a better answer. What’s the takeout. You can see in action some well formed prompts, that make use of research driven prompts and engineering to try to solve a problem, with a dash of fun. As opposed to a linked in post with a cheat sheet of 100 prompts that will ‘game change your business’… or link farm you for a data list. Let’s have a bit of fun together and use billions of pounds of technology to out smart a goat. 🐐 🔮⚽️ < 🤖🧮🔮⚽️ That’s the questions as pointless emojis.

It's official!! 👀 I am joining Antler's residency as part of their 3rd Amsterdam based cohort! 😁 And it's really exciting as Antler is one of the biggest early-stage investors out there, backing exciting new projects that are in pre-seed and even pre-team stages! Being completely solo and bootstrapped means that this residency is particularly interesting to me as they will open their entire network of builders, founders, VCs and partner organizations to help kickstart my journey. Starting today and for the coming 14 weeks I will be working full-time with them and focussing on the following: 𝟭. 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗰𝗼-𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿! Working solo is fun but there's only so much you can do alone. Having a co-founder will help me split tasks that I know I'm less good at. Which is why I'm now officially looking for a partner in Sales and/or Marketing to come join me! The main goal of the residency is networking and I'm confident I'll be meeting amazing people the coming weeks but if you're reading this and are passionate about Web3, are in Sales or Marketing and want to build a new venture from the ground up please send me a message too!!! 𝟮. 𝗚𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 Right now I'm bootstrapping, meaning that all the money that goes into building the company comes from my own pocket. But if I can build a proper team before the end of the residency with at least 1 other co-founder (from inside or outside of the residency), I have a chance to get in front of Antler's Investment Committee and pitch truehandle to them! That is a shot at a possible 100k pre-seed investment!!! Exciting weeks ahead no doubt. Let's make the most out of them!! 🚀

ever seen a todo-app with a direct chat-line to the founders? 🤨 i'd like to claim Niko and I very approachable, but why not make it even easier to yell at us. in fact, we're counting on it. 💪 at this stage there's no use of adding elaborate tracking setups, or to make up hypothesis around behavior. Just come and word-vomit at us. 🫶 the likelihood of features getting implemented coming from first 10 users is unshockingly high. and speaking of features, the grand plan goes beyond a note taking app for analytics work. Though it all hinges on: can we deliver something that makes it so easy, even fun, to keep track of what were you thinking during analytics work? then we can get into the real fun, combining all that business and data context into something even more useful... 😏 -- reconfigured is the analysts' journal for explaining path to insight. a video-game inspired way to track what you were doing, why, and converting into shareable documentation. now rolling in the first users, drop a comment if you'd like to try it out (the journal is FREE), or check out the product demo from my profile link.

Some time ago, I was about to acquire 20% of an AI company with one of my best friends, a top Dutch CTO known for a very high-profile exit. Had the opportunity to optimize the business for 6 months and created a beautiful 2.0 story. With the team, I put that company on the map. Had rallied friends and top people around the concept. Operator and investor alike. This would be my moment and I had saved up all my contacts, for now. Got the current investors to also collectively fill 10% of the convertible because it would help to underbuild the business case to new investors. The moment those current investors one by one followed - was somehow very emotional to me. Because they invested in the 2.0 story I had created. The best UI/UX party, Pieter Van den Keybus/UFLOW. They turned that product (front) into something so beautiful and so user-friendly. Product-wise it was a game-changer and I knew I just had to call them to make it happen. More so I designed the convertible memo according to my template, again with help of some amazing people - and rallied my favorite VC: Johan van Mil of Peak. The shareholders had a conflict about going for the 2.0 story or not. Ultimately the opposers won. The deal exploded and I was shown the door. For 6 months that CEO became one of my best friends. I also lost a great friend. It happens - but it also led to the start of ADCR Capital: this is my founder story. Peak had invited me to their New Year's reception - or did I invite myself? Details. Stop ruining my nice founder story here. The moment I walked in Johan walked up to me and asked "What (the #%@&) had happened" because it was looking so great and he was looking so forward. That conversation then and there - and the things he told me were instrumental. Summarized, he pointed out that was nice work. Not as a CRO, but as a company builder who gets the multidimensional chessboard of the operational and strategic side of the business, of the board, and investors and looks at it like an investment product too. Me: "Can't I work for you Johan, also don't know what to do now" Johan: "No kid, but I'll tell you why: I think you're on to something here and I don't think working for me, or a VC for that matter, is something that best uses your potential". Oke, oke, this is a broad translation and summarization of what happened - and absolutely what I will be selling to Netflix. Just saying, folks. I realized then and there: I needed to do something with it. For 6 months I experimented, starting from my amazing 1st model "Hello, I want 20% of your business" - which was admittedly not my best idea. Up to what it is today. Operating partner offering COO/CEO/CROs as company builders that go LONG with you. And a Broker of Capital in 7 countries for companies between 0-100 mio euros, in 4 capital partner categories, being VCs, PEs, Business Angel Networks and Non-Dilutive Partners. Peak also became our very first Capital Partner, from day 1 ❤️.

Ralf Hodgson, one of the Founders we invested in last year, is the perfect example of the type of founder we like to back. He started Tidal Services, a window cleaning service, after Googling: ‘How to get rich quick.’ There he came across a video from a YouTuber who talked about ‘How to make $500 a day washing windows’. The video was about the US market which asks for much deeper cleans than in the UK but he realised he could make money cleaning windows in his local area, Darlington. He spent £200 on some equipment and started. His first job was cleaning a whole house of Georgian windows… It took him 2 days. After a while he could see the business had legs and was making him more money than his current job. Soon he had a van and began to gain more and more customers. Then Ralf decided to put tech behind the business, to go from a business that uses tech, to a tech business that helps both window cleaners and people who need their windows cleaned (that’s where we come in !). Ralf had been out in all weathers cleaning windows himself for many years. This means he knows the problem, pain points and customer base inside out, plus how to talk to and resonate with other window cleaners. We love working with founders like Ralf who have built a “proper” business that can be scaled further with technology ! #funding #investment #digitaltransformation

Asking for a friend: which (angel) investors do I need to talk to regarding investing in a startup in Personalized Medication. They bring safe personalised medicine cost efficiently to the patient. This way patients are no longer treated as numbers. Who wouldn't want to invest in that? Minimum ticket size is 25k. Send me a PM or drop a comment below.

🎉 Meetup time again! 🎉 #Flutter as a React Developer 📱 Lemon Companies is excited to host the next Flutter Belgium meet-up! This time, our colleague tijl ivens, will share our journey in "Flutter as a React Developer”. We transitioned from React Native and React with Capacitor to Flutter as our go-to for mobile and multi-platform projects. It's not that we completely abandoned React, for the right use cases (Webshops, Corporate websites, ...) we still prefer React with NextJS. A big concern of our team is how we as an agency can reduce the cognitive load and switching costs of different stacks for developers. Developer experience and productivity are important. Therefore our current strategy is to adopt the React Hooks approach thanks to hashtag #FlutterHooks. This way concepts like how we do state management can be ported across stacks. Aside from free food and drinks come to this awesome and active community and talk to our colleagues who transitioned from pure React developers to both React and Flutter devs. #Flutter #ReactToFlutter #ReactNative #MobileApps #Hooks #FlutterBelgium
