Sector, build stage and upcoming milestones set the leadership requirements.
As founder and CEO, Wouter raised €15M across three rounds, backed by Gilde and Atlas Venture, and led the company to an exit through a US merger.
As founder and CEO, he bootstrapped a B2B SaaS business and sold it to a US publicly listed company at 20× EBITDA.
A Startupbootcamp investor and board member, Wouter also teaches a management due diligence masterclass several times a year through the NVP Academy for investors in the Netherlands.
Wouter founded Twinshape in January 2025 to address a question from that experience: does the leadership team fit what the business needs next? Together with Toon Alfrink, co-founder & CTO, he is building
Team Due Diligence
for investment decisions and
Team Optimizer
to help ventures build their teams.
