Welcome to The Venture Kitchen
Where ideas are tested, refined, and served with honesty.
Hosted by Thijmen Meijer, venture builder and co-founder of UniPrisma, the show brings together founders, investors, and creators at the table to explore how meaningful ventures are made.
Like any good kitchen, it’s messy, human, and full of flavor. Some episodes are quick bites, thoughts on leadership, systems, and mindset. Others are long-form conversations where guests share the real ingredients behind growth, resilience, and impact.
The Venture Kitchen is also a blog and newsletter for those who believe that business should be built with care, not just capital.
Available on Spotify, YouTube, and Apple Podcast.
Rebuilding Venture: From Funds to Ecosystems
Thijmen Meijer argues that venture capital is shifting from passive fund management to hands-on ecosystems built by operators, studios, and human-centered systems. The future of venture belongs to builders who co-create with founders and connect platforms where ideas, people, and capital move faster together.
