Bart Kuijpers, co-founder of Coolblue, highlights the importance of integrating faith into entrepreneurship.

In this conversation, Bart shares how Coolblue was launched in 1999, starting with selling MP3 players online. With a strong emphasis on excellent service and delighting customers, Coolblue became a highly recognized brand across the Netherlands. After 15 years, Bart yearned for more adventure and deeper alignment with God’s guidance. 

Bart then founded Royalis Investments with Maurits Roose, focusing on Christian entrepreneurs as they see them as potential modern-day pastors who can offer mentorship and guidance to their employees as well as to broader society. Bart wants to support those entrepreneurs with finances, leadership advice, and spiritual encouragement. While encouraging them to pursue impactful goals that extend beyond their lifetimes. 

Bill Job affirms Bart’s approach, reflecting on his own experiences in China where building a strong, collaborative team led to long-term influence. Together, they urge entrepreneurs to foster supportive communities, celebrate successes, and seek God’s direction.
