• Dennis van der Spoel Consulting is a boutique firm that helps large organizations become more innovative and adaptive in the face of VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity). 
• Dennis van der Spoel Coaching focuses on 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 develops the leaders we need to create a better world. They train and coach leaders, changemakers, intrapreneurs, and innovators to master their dragons and be a force for good in their organization and the world.

Our Purpose

Besides providing passive income and a retirement plan for mr. Van der Spoel's family, we strive to restore biodiversity by liberating the spirit of entrepreneurship and innovation to solve complex social and environmental challenges. 

Through Ukukhula, we invest in startups with the following characteristics:

1. We get on board during seeding or immediate after that. Series A or B are not our forte;
2. We work with founder teams that would like to be coached by us through incubation and acceleration;
3. We work with founder teams that are permeated with the Conscious Capitalism philosophy;
4. We invest solely in companies that develop new technologies to viably commercialize: 
   - real meat, fish, and dairy products that don't require animals, 
   - health, longevity & vitality for humans and all living things globally, 
   - energy that is truly sustainable and leaves no environmental footprint anywhere, 
   - sustainable packaging and environmental-friendly alternatives to plastics and PFAS,
   - transport of materials, goods, and people that leaves no environmental footprint anywhere, 
   - the automated and autonomous conversion of unseparated garbage into valuable raw materials,  
   - soil, water & air cleanup and purification. 
5. We investment in technologies that bring the singularity forward (like genetics, nanotechnology, robotics, and artificial intelligence).
6. We demand that, throughout the supply chain, no humans or animals suffer because of our investment.
