🌟 That’s a wrap – closing a 12-year chapter 🙏
Today marks the end of a truly special chapter: the past 12 years, I’ve poured my heart into building startups, developing tech ecosystems, and driving social entrepreneurship with a focus on equal opportunities.
Looking back, I’m incredibly grateful for what we’ve achieved together through initiatives like: Techgrounds, Dutch Edtech, Stichting FutureNL, Cupola XS, Boeren voor Buren, StartupAmsterdam, TechUkraine, AlbaniaTech, Startup in Residence, TechMeUp, DutchBasecamp, Amsterdam Student Investment Fund, Miracles Academy, IMPACT Entrepreneurs Program, – and so many others.
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of handing over the reins to talented teams who continue to carry these initiatives forward. As of today, I’m stepping out of my final bubbles, except for a supportive role in the background with TechGrounds, CupolaXS.
So what’s next?
Starting in 2025, my full focus will shift to a new challenge: addressing the growing polarization in our society. The what and how? I’ll reveal that tomorrow (teaser 😉)!
To everyone I’ve had the honor to work with: thank you. Your dedication, collaboration, and friendship didn’t just make these projects successful, they also inspired me to keep building – through both the highs and the challenges.
Here’s to a new chapter. 🎤drop.
See you tomorrow, Onwards!
