About our collective

Meet our Minds: a team dedicated to creating a fair and better world. We believe that societal challenges are best solved by strengthening entrepreneurship. That's why we leverage our knowledge, network, and capital to help impact-driven entrepreneurs grow.

We each have (or had) our own businesses and want to help others succeed. Our minds have diverse areas of expertise, from finance and (digital) marketing to innovation and branding. From making your products circular to building a community. And scaling your local business to new (international) markets.

We always work as equals, shoulder to shoulder with the entrepreneur, as if it were our own company. We only commit to initiatives we truly believe in. This energizes, accelerates success, and makes us enjoy what we do every day.
