We couldn’t stay behind in podcast land. So here it is: “De ratrace uit”, a brand new podcast series hosted by Sweaver and podcastmaker Danique Havenga.
In six episodes, Danique speaks with ambitious professionals who left the golden cage of corporate life to do something different. Something more meaningful. More free. Less buzzword bingo.
What made them walk away? What do they do now? And what bits of corporate life still make them cringe?
This week on “De ratrace uit”, Danique talks with Rik Beekers. He started his career as an investment banker, then joined Ramphastos (the investment firm of Marcel Boekhoorn), but always knew he would one day start his own company.
In 2021, that moment arrived, Rik founded Beekers Capital, his own tech M&A advisory and investment firm. Rik speaks openly about the highs and lows of entrepreneurship, the plans that failed, the lessons learned along the way, and why, despite everything, he still loves the pressure and pace of his field.
