Some of Our Brands
We invest in art, real estate, bullion, and entrepreneurs. The first ("prama" literally means "the first") businesses we have invested in were all founded or co-founded by mister Van der Spoel himself. These include, among others:
- Dennis van der Spoel Consulting: making large organizations more adaptive in the face of VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity) by embedding lean, agile, and the theory of constraints in their way of working
- Dennis van der Spoel Coaching: coaching experts to become successful solopreneurs (self-employed entrepreneurs and coaches) that change peoples lives for the better by delivering a profound service and sharing their message to millions of others
- The Dragon Tail Company: training and coaching leaders, changemakers, intrapreneurs, and innovators to master their dragons and be a force for good in their organization and the world
