Stop Carrying It All Alone
Rob Konterman — Advisor & Partner to Impact Founders
Your Pain
Your Pain
Being an impact founder is hard
You are obsessed with making an impact, but it comes at a cost. Founders I have worked with told me they were:
Carrying It All
You delegate, but people don’t own it. You always need to step in, and in the end it still feels like everything rests on your shoulders.

Stuck in the Mud
Everything is important, new initiatives don’t stick and progress feels painfully slow. It seems like everything takes longer than it should.

Running on Empty
You’re exhausted, running on coffee and sugar, and operating in a constant fog. You’re working hard, but you know it isn’t sustainable.

A founder turned advisor & coach
I know what it’s like to build and scale. As co-founder and COO at HealthTech Castor I raised $65M, built a global team of 180+, and learned firsthand the challenges founders face when everything rests on their shoulders.
Today I act as an advisor and partner to impact founders, helping them think more clearly, make tough decisions with confidence, and build teams and structures that truly scale. My approach blends coaching, advisory, and practical tools.
Alongside my advisory work, I support founders via 100x Impact Accelerator, serve on the Investment Advisory Committee of Africa Health Ventures, and back early-stage impact ventures in health and climate.

FAQ
01
How will we work together? Do you work online?
Most founders meet me for 60–90 minutes every two to four weeks. That keeps enough rhythm for progress without overloading your calendar. You bring the topics, I bring focus and structure. I am based near Amsterdam, the Netherlands. We can work online or offline depending on your needs.
02
What does your process look like?
We start with you: your energy, clarity, and priorities. From there we zoom out to your team, leadership, and structures like OKRs and strategy. I’ll use proven frameworks, but we’ll start where you need it most and adapt along the way.
03
Will I receive support between sessions?
Yes. I use voice notes to give you quick feedback and help with urgent decisions between sessions. It means you’re never stuck waiting for the next call.
04
How do you blend advice and coaching?
My goal is to help you grow as a leader. Most of the time I’ll guide through questions and reflection, so the insights stick with you. But when it’s useful, and we both agree, I’ll share advice, frameworks, or connections from my own experience.
05
What do you charge?
I charge €200 per hour (exclusive of VAT) and we will create a package that suits your needs. I maintain a lower hourly rate for impact startups.
06
What stage of founder or company do you work with?
Anything from early-stage to scaling past 100 people. I’ve been through the whole journey myself — from founding to fundraising to scaling globally — so I can meet you where you are.
