Colleagues
Daniël Founder a.k.a. Mr. Fox
Why did you start YOM?
In 2013 I came with the idea of using a game engine for your presentations instead of 2D slides. For years I’ve tried to create a 3D presentation tool called Xplane and to get traction and funding with that. Ultimately with the help of Jorrit and later Alex Xplane became Beemup, and after 1,5 years of grinding with Beemup, we started building towards Your Open Metaverse.
What do you like to do in your spare time?
Swimming, watching YouTube, reading stuff on self development and spirituality, watching movies, walks in nature, hanging out with friends.

Ronald Product Owner
Why did you start working at YOM?
I have previously worked as a Product Owner at other companies, including in digital education. The reason I went here, is because here is a combination of all kinds of things I am interested in: gaming, virtual worlds, crypto, web3, pixel streaming. Conversely, I find that my knowledge and experience in those areas comes in extremely handy on top of my professional experience!
What do you like to do in your spare time?
I spend a lot of my free time working on music, both discovering new bands and producing tracks myself. I really like the engineering side: the arrangement, the mixing and the master. In addition, I’ve been a solid gamer since a young age. I’ve been running around in virtual worlds a lot and in recent years have become very interested in retro gaming, including tinkering with old Game Boys. You can also arrange music on old game boys, which comes full circle!Â

What do you like to do in your spare time?
I like to play F1 game, Cricket, and love to spend time with my family, specially my 4-year-old son.
Jeroen Community Lead
Why did you start working at YOM?
It’s quite rare that you find a project that is so right about where the future is taking us. Just like when the mobile phone or the internet were born. Back then, at the start of everything, 99% of the people didn’t realize that it would change their lives. I believe that the Metaverse will pay a bigger part in our lives than the mobile phone or the internet has ever played. And I want to be a part of it right from the start! Â
What do you like to do in your spare time?
I’m a big fan of outdoor sports, such as kitesurfing, surfing and running.Â
We co-create Meta reality
