'De Bovengever', participates and invests in the ZO Media Group BV, DataEnzo BV, Planet360 Media Group (China) and a few Tech/DSP companies. De Bovengever is a also a booklet with 20+ short stories about the way we do business on a daily basis. It is a strange word that does not even exist, but in Dutch it is meant as the opposite of a traditional Entrepreneur. In our business we did things a lit
tle differently. We worked and reacted more from gut instinct than on the basis of knowledge or experience, and it worked. We often heard that our way of doing business is not the usual way. That’s when I proclaimed: That's right, because we are Bovengevers.
* The term Bovengever is pronounced as follows: Boven as in over with a B, gever with a hard g as in Go and a rolling r at the end. The term was first used in the Dutch edition in 2013
People about The Bovengever:
"Do we not all prefer to be 'Bovengevers' rather than Entrepreneurs? Recognition and inspiration splashes off the beautiful small pages. Bob Ross to Ice Cube, from Sartre to Pythagoras. The latter is my motto, expressed in this book in a different way, but it states the same; 'If you can not share, you can not multiply." Marja Ruigrok | Entrepreneur & Party Chairman of the People's Party for Freedom and Democracy Amsterdam, Spokesperson Economic Affairs
"The Bovengever; inspirational illustrations with personal anecdotes and business adventures. This book invites us to look at things differently, it makes the entrepreneurial journey incredibly engaging and much more fun!"
