    Unstuck from zero customers to one hundred

    "After working for months on my innovative bike lock, Jeroen helped me to focus on getting my product to market. He held me accountable to doing things that move the needle, and see through the noise. At the end of my collab with Jeroen, I reached 100+ sales, and felt comfortable to continue by myself. With a philosophical tangent here and there, he's helped me to get unstuck and ahead as a founder"

    FAQ

    Missing anything? Send me an email!

    Did you ever have a startup?

    Yes, two, and made many mistakes. One never exited the business plan writing phase. The other we built for 1.5 years and then launched, got 1500 downloads, and usage flatlined. We built something people didn't want. 

    Who gets a discount?

    Startups that don't have a lot of resources. These are bootstrapped startups, startups without fundraising (angel, VC, or grant), and pre-revenue startups. I define pre-revenue as <€1000 MRR.

    What is your PhD on? Can I read some?

    Early-stage startups. I see startups as a design object. I'm investigating how entrepreneurs design successful startups. And nope, our mentoring will not be part of our research—unless we specifically agree to that. My book is finished later this year. I'll post about on my Substack or LinkedIn.

    I don't have the resources, do you do equity?

    No, I don't. You don't want me on your cap table for three months of work, trust me. Given the early-stage risk, the equity share I require to make it worthwhile to me is not in your favour. You may pay in tranches, and I offer discounts for pre-revenue, bootstrapped startups.
