She has started and exited two international tech companies, is a prominent board member for several organisations and is often called upon by the government for advice. Her expertise lies in the crossroads of technology, talent, investing and diversity.

CapitalT is an Amsterdam-based seed stage tech fund investing in European tech companies creating solutions for real-world problems through the use of AI or data. They look for companies with strong international potential and positive team cultures.

As the co-initiator of InspiringFifty, an initiative to raise the visibility of female role models, Janneke published The New Girl Code to inspire young girls to pursue careers in technology.

She has been named one of Harper’s Bazaar Women of the Year, one of the 10 most prominent angel investors, Most Innovative Leader and EY Entrepreneur of the Year. She’s quite the superwoman!
