Description

Jouri is the founder and CEO of Pieter Pot, one of the most talked-about startups in the Netherlands. 

The online supermarket, known for using jars instead of plastic packaging, experienced rapid growth since its launch in 2019, raising €12.5 million in capital. However, in 2022, the company encountered financial troubles, and despite a takeover, faced what seemed like a final blow at the end of 2023 when it went bankrupt. Now, in 2024, Pieter Pot is back in the startup phase with a new round of crowdfunding. As always, Jouri remains determined to make it a success.

In this episode, we'll talk about:

  • Driving system change through business;
  • Going from growth to getting acquired to bankruptcy to a rebirth; 
  • The difference between revenue and profitability;
  • How to push forward as a founder
