Dieuwke focuses on the human side of innovation and entrepreneurship for startups and scale-ups.

She is passionate about fostering authentic connections and preventing founder burnout, a theme central to her work and writing. To recharge, she practices "strategic rest, " as seen during a recent trip to Greece, believing that for entrepreneurs, the work is never truly done.
