Founders involved in the mobility field for years with experience of scaling operations to 8 cities with shared E-bikes, and now releasing their new hardware product on the market. Huge network within the startup ecosystem, as well as early-stage investors.

Together, Max and Chingiskhan have also co-founded FounderFuel, a comunity dedicated to Dutch founders and investors creating the next Silicon Valley. Recognizing the challenges international founders face in securing local funding, they initiated an early-stage fund to enhance support and connectivity within the entrepreneurial community. This initiative reflects their deep commitment to fostering innovation and supporting the next generation of founders. Their approach to venture capital is not just about funding but about creating a vibrant community where groundbreaking ideas can thrive.

“You need 2 things to be a founder: grit and openness. Work on something that you believe in, and move till the end. But don’t keep to yourself in this journey, ask for help and surround yourself with the right people. Aim for the stars.”
