Investment analyst

I get paid to be curious about new technology. At BOM, I look at young companies in deep tech, AI and software, usually in their first rounds of funding.

What I like to dig into

01

Artificial intelligence

The soft spot I’ve stopped pretending is subtle. It started with automating my own work, and I still like to try the products myself.

02

Deep tech

Science that leaves the lab and goes looking for its first customers. I like to understand the science first, and then who will buy it.

03

Software

Products that turn into the way a customer works. I like hearing from the people who use them every day.

04

Pre-seed to Series A

The first chapters. A first product, first customers and a pitch deck that gets a little better every week.

Wrote about tech.
Built with it.
Now I analyse it.

About

I’m an investment analyst in the Key Technologies team at BOM, the Brabant Development Agency. That means plenty of pitch decks, plenty of conversations with founders and a happy habit of asking one more question.

Before that I spent five years at Reshift Digital. I started out writing for TechAcademy and Zoom.nl, moved into campaigns and content, and ended up as AI specialist. I automated a fair bit of my own work, then showed my colleagues how to do the same.

I studied Business Administration at VU Amsterdam. Then I won a business game that came with a scholarship to Nyenrode, so that decision made itself. I graduated there cum laude, as valedictorian.
