Our Story
A group of entrepreneurs with a proven track record in building ventures at the intersection of AI, data infrastructure, and sustainable technology.
Having built and sold companies, and advised C-level executives of market-leading organizations, we bring both entrepreneurial drive and strategic insight to every initiative.
Since 2025, we have joined forces as TJYP to identify opportunities with global potential, unite key partners, and transform ambitious ideas into scalable concepts with lasting impact.
Tjibbe Beckers, Partnerships and Stakeholders
Tjibbe makes sure the right people find each other, and that once they do, the relationship works. He builds and manages the partnerships our ventures depend on: energy providers, technology partners, customers, and everyone in between. In projects with this many moving parts, the quality of the relationships is the quality of the execution. His job is to make sure relationships are never the bottleneck.
Jimi Buser, Finance, Legal and Governance
Jimi builds the financial and legal foundation our ventures stand on. He works across corporate structuring, financial modelling, governance, and fundraising, at the point where finance, law, and operations meet. His role is to make an ambitious idea investable: disciplined models, clean structures, and commercial frameworks that hold up under scrutiny. He also translates strategy into operating plans the business can actually run on.
Youp Overtoom, Positioning and Growth
Youp brings our ventures to market. His work is to make people see a thing before it exists. Vision becomes visual, visual becomes feeling, and feeling is what makes someone act: sign, invest, join, buy. A Venture gets built long before it gets built. It gets built in the room, in the deck, in the story people repeat when you are not there.
Experience with building and selling ventures.
Paul Kunneman, Direction and Execution
Paul sets direction and takes ventures from concept to committed. He works across strategy, partnerships, and financing structures, and he is the one who turns a promising idea into something a counterparty is willing to sign. He has advised C-level executives at market-leading organisations and now applies that experience to building companies rather than advising them. He is General Director of Project Enki.
