Founder of The VC Coach • Based in Portugal (originally Netherlands) • Certified Executive Coach
With over a decade in venture capital — spanning Private Equity, Corporate VC, Impact VC fund management, informal investor roles, VC Scout positions, and startup operations — Anieke brings deep insider knowledge to her coaching practice.
Mission: "Make the future of venture capital more human."
Anieke believes VCs should be more human, impact and purpose-driven, collaborative, and entrepreneurial — and less hierarchical, political, biased, and exclusive. Her experience inside the VC sector revealed systemic gaps: the absence of clear learning and development programs and support structures for venture capitalists themselves.
Coaching provides the space and structure for reflection necessary for efficient learning, growth, and optimized decision-making. Because who's coaching you?
Goal Sharpening: I help you identify your objectives and concrete action steps to move from your current state to your desired outcomes.
Active Listening: A confidential, fully present space to discuss topics of your choosing without judgment.
Powerful Questioning: Strategic questions designed to help you find your own solutions — not directives telling you what to do.
A simple, transparent three-step process to get started.
Initial call via Calendly to discuss your background, challenges, and objectives. We'll assess mutual fit and explore how coaching can support your goals.
If we both want to proceed, you'll receive a detailed Coach Agreement Proposal outlining scope, confidentiality, pricing, frequency, and invoicing details.
Upon agreement with the proposal, we sign a formal Coaching Agreement confirming confidentiality protections and officially launching our partnership.
"Working with Anieke has been transformative. Not only did we exceed the goals I set out at the beginning, but I genuinely felt cared for and supported throughout the process."
