Jochem
Jochem’s background is in tech startups. He co-founded two startups (a telco for youngsters and a drone developer for sustainable agriculture), after which he co-founded a successful Venture Capital fund. In 2021, Jochem left that fund to focus on making more impact. He co-founded the 10% Club, a community that aims to make philanthropy mainstream and more effective. He is also still very active as an investor. As such, he works with a rigorous method that aims to maximize the expected impact per invested euro.
Most of Jochem’s direct investments are in Africa, deep tech, or both. He spends most of his time on the African continent to build and support his impact portfolio.
