I am a researcher and practitioner specializing in entrepreneurial finance, (deep)technology entrepreneurship, and value creation in early鈥憇tage technology ecosystems. At 黑料福利网, my work focuses on understanding and designing financial, organizational, and strategic mechanisms that Venture Capitalists can implement to help technology ventures overcome the missing middle鈥攖he critical phase between applied research and commercialization where many deep鈥憈ech companies stall. My research combines design science, system dynamics, and qualitative research to develop evidence鈥慴ased frameworks for venture capital and technology ventures.

My recent work includes developing a VC value鈥慶reation framework for technology ventures, creating design principles for establishing seed鈥憇tage deep鈥憈ech funds, and developing sustainability evaluation tools for VCs. These efforts are grounded in empirical studies across European VC firms and build on interdisciplinary perspectives from entrepreneurial finance and technology entrepreneurship.

Alongside my academic role, I am an Investment Manager and Sustainability Officer at DeepTechXL, where I work closely with early鈥憇tage deep-tech ventures on strategic, operational, and technological development. This dual academic鈥損ractitioner position enables me to bridge scholarship and practice, ensuring that my research contributes directly to strengthening Europe鈥檚 deep鈥憈ech innovation ecosystem.

I strive to bridge the worlds of venture capital and technology entrepreneurship so breakthrough technologies can scale where they matter most.

I hold a Master of Science in Innovation Management from Eindhoven University of Technology, complemented by a Master鈥檚 degree in Strategic Management from Tilburg University. My academic work centers on entrepreneurial finance, technology venturing, and venture capital value creation, culminating in a dissertation that develops frameworks for deep鈥憈ech funding, sustainability assessment, and post鈥慽nvestment value creation. Building on this foundation, I was a student entrepreneur via my company Easybook, gained industrialization- and project leadership experience as Raymakers and Vanderlande, and was Portfolio Manager at HighTechXL. Then, I helped set-up DeepTechXL, where I currently serve as Investment Manager and Sustainability Officer. These combined academic and professional experiences allow me to bridge rigorous research with real鈥憌orld entrepreneruship and early鈥憇tage investment practice.
