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!

Let’s keep in touch

Once a month I write about what I’ve been up to: family life, what I’m building, and soon, stories from six months on the road with three kids. Now and then I’ll share a tool or something I’ve learned.

• Zonder incheckbagage vliegen wordt steeds lastiger

  28 October 2014

  De afgelopen jaren hebben de (low-cost) vliegtuigmaatschappijen ons getrained om zo licht mogelijk en met alleen handbagage te vliegen. Doe je dat niet, dan wordt een vliegticket al snel een boel duurder. Het zonder incheck-bagage vliegen is zelfs zo populair, dat er vaak in het bagagevakken boven de stoelen geen ruimte is. Verschillende keren heb…

• Pinterest, de ultieme inspiratiebron

  23 December 2013

  Sinds dat we een jaar geleden een huis gekocht hebben is Pinterest een van mijn meest bezochte sites geworden. Pinterest is een soort online plakboek. Je plaatst er foto’s en plaatjes op die je mooi vind of die je inspireren. Er staan ondertussen miljoenen foto’s op in categorieën verschillend van kunst tot outdoors en interieur…
