About Jan

I help non-profits and social entrepreneurs with funding and growth — from funding strategy to business models that work.

My background is unusual: ten years as an international entrepreneur in Guatemala, where I ran a 60-bed surf hostel, bar, restaurant, and tours operation with 40+ employees — at the same time, I earned my BSc in Computer Science. I know what it means to build in a complex environment, with limited resources and a lot of uncertainty.

Back in the Netherlands, I work as a freelance consultant for non-profits and social entrepreneurs. I help organizations with funding strategy, financing models, and translating ambition into concrete plans.
Additionally, I build and sell AI-driven products for SMEs. Altijd Opgenomen is my latest product — an AI receptionist for Dutch freelancers that automatically handles calls, qualifies leads, and arranges follow-ups via WhatsApp and email.

I work mostly remotely and am available for assignments of 4 to 32 hours per week.
