JAN HENDRIK ANSINK: FOUNDER & INVESTOR BASED IN BERLIN, GERMANY.




I LOVE BUILDING DIGITAL PRODUCTS, AND SUPPORTING THOSE WHO DARE.



ABOUT ME


My journey as an entrepreneur began in 2006 when I founded a marketplace for
artists and musicians while studying business and economics at the European
Business School, Stockholm, and Harvard University.

After my graduation in 2010, Patrick McKenna and Frederik Fleck, two successful
business angels from the US and Germany, supported me in building ExpertCloud, a
virtual call center. I created the fundament and scaled the company from 1 to
200 agents, serving popular B2B clients, such as, Tchibo, Sky, and Lampenwelt.

Today, I serve as the CEO of Volders - Germany's biggest legal tech. We have
served over 8m customers. I founded Volders in 2014 and acquired our main
competitor, Aboalarm, in 2022, and FINE Legal in 2024.

My passion lies in creating a firm’s strategy, building and tweaking digital
products, and finding exceptionally talented people.

In addition to my role as CEO, I enjoy supporting founders as an angel and
advisor.

HOW I CONTRIBUTE



I'm an active investor, and I'm committed to providing support wherever I can
add value to your business. I offer firsthand experience, having encountered all
entrepreneurial challenges as a sole founder scaling from 0 up to 200 employees
and bring to the table a substantial network of product experts, advisors, legal
professionals, and fellow investors.

While I do enjoy a company's growth, my real interest lies in solving the tough
parts: the challenges, obstacles, and setbacks that come with building a
business. It is demanding, and very few can deal with the emotional and mental
toll. I find fulfillment in tackling these phases.

💵
Raising a round? Please send me your pitch deck and financials. My preference
are early-stage companies (from idea to Series B). You can contact me via
Linkedin, or send an email to <replacewithmyfirstname>@ansink.capital.
