Recently I heard a quote from George Bernard Shaw that I found quite remarkable. If you ever find me saying that something is impossible, please remind me of the fact that right here, right now, I’m saying nothing is!
People who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it.
I can tell you what I did, but that wouldn’t be interesting. And apart from that, that’s what LinkedIn is for, so go and have a look there.
What I’ve learned in the past 10 years setting up three business is that with a group of great people having a crazy idea, you can achieve anything.
My latest company that I started in April last year is going to make electric vehicles in the Netherlands (and possibly abroad) a big success. For more info, have a look at the Remotion site.
Apart from starting and running business’ I spend my time in the mountains in Italy or out at sea on my kiteboard.
If you want to get in touch with me, drop me a line at alef ATT arendsen DOTT net.
We wouldn’t happen to be related, would we?
Mijn vaders familie komt uit Doetinchem.
Nope, don’t think so; at least, not that I know of, although my family is from Harderwijk, which is somewhat close to Doetinchem. My family are woodcutters…

Dear Alef,
I’m a Danish journalist working on a article about peer-2-peer lending. I can see that You have been active with MyC4, and I wonder if you could help me with some insights about the experience (worries, irritations, advantages etc etc.) as a user?
It will be published in the magazine Finans.
I’m based in New York, but can contact you whenever convenient.
best

It’s the mountain above my house in Italy. Taken last winter
Italy is a charming state with historical cities, scenic countryside, mountains, attractive coast and art treasures.
Hi, I sent you an email via facebook about needing a geometra. English speaking if possible. If you could pass on the details of your guy I’d be most grateful. Mark
