Purpose-driven entrepreneurs improve life on this planet by solidifying dreams in technology and business models - using their personal drive and grit. My work is to help realize their purpose - and align ‘nurture capital’ to fuel their growth. By fostering resilient teams, respecting planetary boundaries, challenging conventions and convictions, balancing mutual interests, being respectfully honest and enjoying the hardship and fun.For more than 3 decades already, I have spent every working day (and quite a few nights) on:- improving solar cell performance with a factor 1,5x - as an academic in physics- implementing new-energy strategy, -projects and -technology - as a utility professional- launching green-energy retailing in The Netherlands in 2001 - as a startup entrepreneur- fast international growth, business development and funding - as a managing director- turn-around management of distressed ventures - as an executive- regional fund investments (>100 M€) in climate and energy - as an investment-committee member- guiding >50 energy startups to scalability, funding & growth - as a rockstar(t) veteran🤘🏼The coming decade I’ll keep investing all the capital, time and energy I can manage to get the energy-transition job done - faster! By finding, accelerating and investing in business innovations by startup ventures across Europe. Working daily with the best entrepreneurs, co-investors, experts and ecosystems is the smartest investment. The carried interest will be a fossil-free, prosperous and righteous energy world - as soon as possible!
