Howzit!

My name is Robin and I created this page when I was running competitively. It has evolved ever since. You find here a bit about myself and about my running adventures.

I'm a partner at General Catalyst with a focus on resilience in Europe. Before that I've been a founder and operator myself. I lead client delivery at Kraken Technologies (part of Octopus Energy) after Kraken acquired my company - Kwest - in early 2024.

Earlier in my career, I’ve worked at P9 Capital where I’ve invested and worked with companies such as Loom (exited to Atlassian for nearly $1bn ), Laserhub, Metalshub, Mavenoid, Container xChange, Preply, Tradelink, and Workerbase.

Since a few years, I’ve become more active as an active angel investor (eg. Maven, Taktile, Remberg, Root Global, Rivan, Sensmore, Karman+, Electricity Maps, ...) and I’m an LP in various venture funds.
I'm particularly interested in companies that transform physical industries and occasionally share my thoughts:

I’ve studied Industrial Engineering in Karlsruhe (Germany), Lund (Sweden), and Cape Town (South Africa). In my free time I like to go running and spend time in the mountains. I competed in various obstacle races and ultra trail runs across the globe for the Brooks Getting Tough Team.

I'm always happy to meet people who share similar passion for these topics. Get in touch with me here.
