Roald Kruit shares his personal journey

In the latest Dutch Dragons episode, Roald Kruit shares his personal journey – from co-founding Mendix to founding Yamicc. It’s a story about entrepreneurship, technology, and above all, the conviction that we can (and should) do better when it comes to clinical research for rare cancers.

Yamicc was born from the belief that research can be faster, smarter and more collaborative – especially for patients with (rare) cancers, where time and access truly matter. What started as an idea has grown into a shared initiative, powered by clinicians, researchers, technologists, partners and volunteers who all contribute in their own way.

We’re always looking for people to join this mission:

  • Volunteers who want to contribute their time, expertise or network
  • Software and technology companies who believe collaboration can accelerate impact
  • Donors who want to support our work: it’s now possible to donate directly via our website https://lnkd.in/e4guWQhQ, but we are also always open to a personal conversation

And just as importantly: if you have ideas, perspectives or simply feel connected to our mission — we’d love to hear from you. Reach out, start a conversation, and explore how you might contribute.

Together, we can build a future where better research leads to better outcomes — for patients who can’t afford to wait.
