Thomas Mensink has built a reputation as one of the go-to people for understanding the Dutch venture capital market, known for analyzing funding data, hosting long-running podcasts and interview series with founders and investors, and writing as a self-described startup analyst on Medium and his older blog, Startupphrenology. He also stands out for exploring the psychology behind fundraising, arguing that skipping a raise can sometimes benefit founders, and for helping shape Golden Egg Check's co-investment approach to backing startups.

Golden Egg Check is run by a team of startup analysts, data scientists, and software developers who combine market research with software tools before making small co-investments alongside angels and well-known venture funds. The fund looks for promising Dutch pre-seed and seed startups early, before bigger funds shift to later-stage deals, and it invests in technical areas like quantum processors, genomic data infrastructure, and privacy-preserving collaboration tools, while also helping founders connect with investors for their next funding rounds.
