• Breeze

  Led · Equity · Dec 2022

  Breeze is an offline dating platform founded in 2020 by a group of former TU Delft students and led by co‑founder and CEO Joris van Doorninck. The app removes in‑app chat: after a mutual match users pick a date via a date picker and Breeze books a reservation with an affiliated hospitality partner. Both users pay a small fee for the date, which includes a first drink. The company says it has facilitated 50,000 dates and has recently become the third most downloaded dating app in the Netherlands. Breeze announced a fresh €1.3M funding round and plans to use the capital to accelerate expansion and product development. The team highlights investor experience as a strategic asset to help scale the offline‑first model.

• Legal Nodes

  Participated · Equity · Aug 2021

  Legal Nodes is a subscription-based, lawyer-on-demand platform that provides companies with virtual in-house counsel for a fixed monthly fee. The company began as a lawyer matchmaking platform but pivoted to a subscription service after finding clients were uncertain about what legal support they needed. Legal Nodes positions itself as a platform — not an attorney or law firm — with attorney-client relationships formed directly between clients and legal providers. For lawyers the platform offers an online marketplace and a dashboard to offer services remotely and manage workflows; customers can track task progress. The company sold 10 subscriptions within a week and now counts 60+ companies on board. With the new funding it plans to expand its network of legal partners to include specialists in commercial, corporate, and data protection law and aims to replace expensive in-house legal teams.
