Me in 30 seconds…
I’m Martijn, a Dutch entrepreneur and dad of three. I live in Nijmegen, the Netherlands, with my wife and our kids.
I love to build things. Businesses and websites, but just as much Lego, furniture and our house, which I’ve been renovating myself for way too long. I cook a lot, mostly vegetarian, and I’ve proudly declared the aubergine my favourite vegetable. I like bringing people together for dinners and get-togethers, I play with my kids whenever I can, and there’s always a book on the go.
For work I run Psychogoed.nl together with my wife, and I’m building Go Super Papa: a daily email and an AI chat coach that help busy dads enjoy their family more.
In 2027 we’re leaving for six months of travelling as a family. Want to know what I’m doing right now? See my now page!

Bulletproof Butter Tea and the start of a Vlog
I love making video’s but I never did it anymore because of excuses. Also, I love to share stuff with you, but I never blog because of excuses. So, today: no more excuses! I’ll start vlogging! At least for the coming weeks as an experiment to see how much I like it. In each vlog…
