Entrepreneur and founder with experience building and scaling tech ventures. Co-founded two companies operating in PropTech. In 2014 the idea of Barqo came across and built this online boat rental platform from scratch and exited. In 2020 I founded WE.VESTR with the mission to simplify equity management and accelerate the next-gen of global ventures. Now stepping into a broader regional role, building and backing ventures across Asia and contributing to the growth of high-potential tech companies in the region.
Founders. Backers. Venture Builders. We build, invest in and scale tech ventures from pre-seed to Series A. As venture builders we support entrepreneurs with capital, technology and top-tier industry experts (iPros) to accelerate development, launch and growth. We work lean, focus on execution and help founders build sustainable, globally scalable businesses.
WE.VESTR is the easy-to-use equity management platform built by founders, for founders. Streamline your cap table, shareholder reporting, ESOPs, and legal processes - all in one place.
In March 2026, the original founders reacquired Barqo and Botentehuur.nl - bringing both brands back to where they started. And picking up where we left off.
Barqo is the online boat rental platform. Our two-sided marketplace connects (private & commercial) boat owners and renters. In 2019, we solidified our market leadership in The Netherlands by acquiring our largest domestic competitor, Botentehuur.nl. In January 2022, we were acquired by The Boat Engine/Borrow A Boat. This acquisition has significantly strengthened Barqo’s position in the Dutch market and is fueling the expansion of The Boat Engine/ Borrow A Boat into additional global markets. In March 2024, The Boat Engine/Borrow A Boat completed the acquisition of Zizoo, the largest German boat rental marketplace. This strategic move has created one of the world’s largest boating marketplaces, with a global footprint, customer base and reach. In March 2026, the original founders reacquired Barqo and Botentehuur.nl - bringing both brands back to where they started. Separately, The Boat Engine/Borrow A Boat was acquired by Five Seasons Yachting Group (FSY), one of the most integrated groups in global yachting. As part of FSY, we're building on a stronger foundation in platform, technology, and international reach.
