hi, i'm Jeroen
an indie builder from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
3 years ago i was juggling a full-time job while building startups at night
was burned out, quit my job and went all in on entrepreneurship
spent my first year traveling and building from Thailand and Indonesia
now i'm back in Amsterdam, building not just apps but also building (renovating) my house on the canals
if you're a fellow builder, let's connect 🤝

Today distributed cognition exits out of stealth with backing by Verdict Capital.
Our mission is to replicate humanity's collective intelligence.

Most of today's AI power is held in the hands of a few, who can choose what you're allowed to think and what you're permitted to do.
We stand on three substantially different foundational beliefs:
- You shouldn't ask permission for intelligence.
- Superintelligence will be a distributed collective.
- Humans are not meant to be relegated to a permanent underclass.
If we don't distribute intelligence, nobody will.
Collective intelligence > individual intelligence.
Always has been.
🤝 Paid partnership

damn Pancake is killing it!
it's been 10 weeks of 50% week-over-week growth with pancake.ai
no matter how many startups you’ve built, the next one still makes you feel like a beginner. there’s always something you’ve never done before that you suddenly need to figure out.
jumping out of a plane, trying to break a guinness world record. it's all fun!
but the best part is still realizing you’ve built something other people think is worth paying for.
more to come!
