I decided to split my real estate company up into several separate organizations, each with a co-founder involved. We steadily work on creating new Young companies. Therefore we continue to look for talented people who want to use their knowledge and experience to further develop a company and themselves.

Young - Unite to Disrupt In a world where the established dominate, and influential networks or financial power seem like the only catalysts for success, we’re here to prove the opposite.We’re an unusual collective of fearless yet down-to-earth companies, driven to break barriers and forge new paths in established markets, together with like-minded disruptors filled with unconventional ideas, fresh perspectives, and a strong desire to impact the future. Because, they believe they can do better. And, will do better. Just like us.Being visionary business founders with an unstoppable drive to innovate and improve, we carefully identify market opportunities that are ready for disruption and align forward-thinking entrepreneurs who have the potential to make this possible. However, instead of just providing them with investments, we believe in the power of co-venturing to maximise results. That’s why we team up, unite our forces, and embrace every promising dream like one of our own.Whether it’s in real estate, hospitality or media publishing; At Young, we’re at home in various markets, as long as we keep trusting our own guts and empowering our entire team to do the same. Because together we can make the impossible possible; Go beyond business as usual; And show the world what bold entrepreneurship can do.“No guts, no business”

With my initial business savings, I ventured into real estate by purchasing my first property for rental purposes. As time went on, I expanded my portfolio by developing numerous housing projects in and around The Hague. Within a few years, these projects varied from twenty to a hundred homes per project, marking a big turning point in my entrepreneurial journey.This led to the growth of Young Real Estate into a broad-based organization in the real estate sector, resulting in our consistent inclusion in the PropertyNL Top 50 Developers for four years in a row.One of the highlights for Young Real Estate was the acquisition of 20,000 m2 of vacant office space near The Hague. Within a year, all the space was leased out, and a part of it was redeveloped into a student hotel that I still own.

In 2023, Young started a collaboration with Young Business Award: an award show for young entrepreneurs who want to take their business to the next level.With entrepreneurship, ambition, and innovative ideas as its values, this initiative fits perfectly with our own DNA. And, gives us the opportunity to share our knowledge and experience with young entrepreneurs. Additionally, I am personally involved in the competition's jury to recognize the 'Best Young Business of the Netherlands,' demonstrating our commitment to supporting and celebrating the next generation of entrepreneurs.

Young has proudly committed to Young Impact as a social partner. We believe young people who dedicate themselves to others, society or nature, should be rewarded. Through the Award Show, we will honour this generation of people who dare to make their voices heard and are not afraid to stand up for their ideals. Then, by definition, you already deserve an award. I am very honoured to be part of this special event and look forward to putting all these young impact makers in the spotlight.
