Vision & Strategy
“The Architect”
Michiel has been navigating the frontier of decentralized technology since its earliest days. An early backer of Ethereum and Polkadot, he focuses on the structural “system errors” of our current economy. His role is to translate the philosophy of “Generative Value” into concrete technical protocols like GIVO.
Art Director & Branding
“The Translator”
Complex technology often fails because it feels alien. Bob’s mission is to translate abstract protocols into human language. He ensures that our tools are not just functional but approachable, bridging the gap between cold code and warm, trustworthy human interaction.
Social Innovation
“The Scientist”
Technology is only as strong as the human bonds it supports. As a Development Anthropologist working on future‑ready societies, Sanne strengthens the cultural foundations that help communities and organizations thrive. Her work ensures that Socialtec’s innovations unlock and elevate human potential.
Innovation Strategy
“Partner in progress.” Expert in concept development and innovation, supporting mission-driven organizations.
Social Finance
Professional with deep experience in microfinance and empowering social entrepreneurs to build sustainable impact.
Community Participation
Expert in “Mensen Mee” (getting people on board). Facilitating connection, equality, and participation in complex social projects.
Join the Board
We are always looking for wisdom.
We helped fund and foster the Web3 revolution. As early participants in Ethereum and Polkadot, we recognized the potential of decentralized consensus early. We contributed to first-gen interoperability platforms like Blocknet and Komodo.
We moved from theory to practice by inventing “atomic loops” for decentralized bartering. This prototype won the Inclusive Banking Track at Europe’s largest Blockchain Hackathon and the Asito Social Innovation Prize.
Selected for the prestigious EIT RawMaterials Accelerator, helping us refine our strategy for applying decentralized tools to real-world resource challenges.
Three years of “The Grind”, intense, self-funded development and field testing within a small Dutch community. Our living laboratory for testing assumptions against human reality.
We return with a mature vision. Our focus is deploying GIVO as a foundational public good for the Polkadot ecosystem and beyond
We publish our findings, failures, and frameworks for the public benefit.
Building towards a future where our shared infrastructure is governed by those who contribute.
Infrastructure for the next generation, not just the next fiscal quarter.
