About Patrick Kerssemakers

Patrick Kerssemakers co-founded and scaled fonQ before it was acquired by Wehkamp, then became a venture investor at Dutch Founders Fund, which he says is uniquely composed entirely of experienced entrepreneurs rather than traditional finance VCs. He's known for backing unconventional startups with rough presentations but strong underlying angles, often helping founders rewrite their story rather than passing on deals that look odd but have potential.
