While working remotely for the past 10 years I spend a lot of time in apps like skype – which we now replaced with zoom – to communicate with our clients and team members around the world. But also for companies closer to home, it’s getting more usual to set up a zoom meeting, instead […]
Building solutions was never as simple as it is now. Last year we built some products ourselves based on the concept of ‘NoCode’ movement, and we were able to verify our ideas in a very efficient way. Instead of spending 10.000, > 50.000 euros, you can now build your next idea in no time at […]

Compound interest is something that fascinates me and is a talent that I focus on to become better at. The idea is simple; do something every day and it will pay off in the long run. Even with failures or setbacks. This goes for investing, learning a new skill, eating healthy. You name it. In […]
