Laurens Groenendijk is a serial founder turned VC who co-founded Just-Eat Netherlands, Treatwell, fashion marketplace Miinto, and nano-satellite IoT company Hiber before starting Dutch Founders Fund, giving him hands-on experience across food delivery, marketplaces, and space tech. He focuses on backing marketplace companies that displace middlemen and reroute supply chains, often taking unconventional deals that other VCs might pass on because his operating background helps him see through rough presentations to spot the underlying opportunity.
