#24 Wrapping up two projects

Hi and welcome to my wantrepreneurship blog! The past two months have been yet another roller coaster that ended in… well it didn’t end the way I hoped. I wish the title of this blog was “First customers using the app - learnings”, but today’s post is more of a post-mortem. In fact, it’s two post mortems in one. However, that’s not a bad thing (well not completely). In 2023 alone, I can count 5 projects and/or teams that I’ve started and stopped, so far. Even if they didn’t grow to become “real things”, giving up on each of them was hard. But every time, I learned a new way to let go, which is an important spiritual and emotional skill. ...

#21 Antler week 2: FOMO intensifies

Hi there! Thanks for coming to my blog where I write about my entrepreneurial journey! I’m writing this from a train going to Le Havre. Somehow it feels like I’m sending a postcard into the ether. This postcard is the second in a series I will be writing while participating in the Antler program. The 1st post is here. The first week of Antler was intense, but the second week even more so. Almost every day, when the office would close, we’d go for dinner and drinks and more socializing. What’s awesome about this is that besides finding a team, there’s a lot of friendship potential. On the other hand, it must be draining for introverts. ...

#20 Antler week 1: let the games begin

Hi there! Thanks for coming to my blog where I write about my entrepreneurial journey! On Monday, I started the Antler program together with around 60 other founders. It’s amazing to see so many curious, driven people, that all want to build something great, all in one place. I’m very grateful to share this experience with them. For the coming months, I’ll be writing about my progress at Antler, where my goal is to find one or two co-founders, explore an idea together, and build it up to a seed-stage company. ...
