The Power Of Experience
Our network, your success!
How It Started
In 2020, during the height of the pandemic, Kode was founded on the beach of Scheveningen. We invested in our first startup not long after. As we spoke with other entrepreneurs building their dreams, we realized we were in a position to be more than just an investor. Having built multiple business ourselves, we saw them struggle with the same things we had struggled years before. Based on that we rebuilt Kode into a business that helps build and grow companies: a venture builder.
Our mission is to help innovative entrepreneurs and businesses grow and change the world for the better.
From our background in mathematics and business we strongly believe in data as a foundation of our approach. We've built an assessment framework to help entrepreneurs and businesses "confront the brutal facts".
Similarly, we are convinced that people are the main driver of business success. Creating the right team is a core of our approach. Part of our assessment framework is a personal assessment methodology based on the Enneagram developed by our sister company Nine Wisdoms.
We are entrepreneurs just like you and love building and growing companies, It's our passion!
