Young entrepreneur Jens Visser raises €1.8 million, including investment from Maasbert Schouten

At just 26 years old, Jens Visser has already made waves with his fast-growing startup, Partnify. With over 3,200 business customers and a mission to make collaboration easier for SMEs, Visser has now secured €1.8 million in funding. One of the key investors? Former Quote 500 member Maasbert Schouten. Time for a quick call with Quote.

What exactly does Partnify do? Keep it simple, please.

"At its core, we offer a platform that makes collaboration between two or more companies easy. Think of things like communication, sharing documents, syncing apps, or connecting one company’s Google Drive with another’s Microsoft system. Basically, everything to help teams stay aligned without forcing them to share more data than they want. Especially for freelancers and SMEs, this kind of setup can get complicated, even if they’ve got their operations well organized."

What does it cost to use Partnify?

"We use a monthly subscription model with fixed prices based on company size. It ranges from about €20 to €250 per month. We’re also working on a modular pricing option for the future. Since 2024, we’ve grown from 200 to 3,200 active business subscriptions, and we’re currently adding 200 to 300 new ones each month."

How much revenue does that bring in?

"We’re not sharing revenue numbers, but we do expect to become profitable in the near future. Ideally, we want to grow without staying dependent on outside funding."

About the new funding round: raising €1.8 million is impressive. What will you use the money for?

"Part of it will go toward expanding our team and building AI features that analyze collaboration data. We’re also focusing on international growth. There’s a lot of interest in our product abroad. The challenge is that translating your product into English isn’t enough. Entrepreneurs want to work with people they know. That’s why we’re building local networks in business communities like Paris, Stockholm, and Munich. This way, companies can connect with trusted local partners. At the same time, we’re staying focused on the Dutch market too. That’s why we brought in some Dutch investors as well."

Including big names like Rabobank and MaasInvest. Maasbert Schouten, will you help him rejoin the Quote 500?

"I saw your entry point is €140 million, but I honestly don’t know how close he is to that. But we’ll definitely do our best to help him get there."
