Joke Dehond

Joke Dehond is a former tech entrepreneur turned impact investor, business angel, and coach to founders navigating the realities of growth. She works closely with startups and scale-ups that want to build ambitious companies while staying true to their values and the impact they aim to create. Joke is deeply familiar with everything that keeps entrepreneurs up at night—from strategy and financing to team dynamics, governance, and the emotional weight of leadership.

Today, Joke is actively involved as an advisor and board member across several impact-driven companies. Through her work with Shaping Impact Group, she supports businesses that use technology as a lever for positive change, with a particular interest in inclusive, future-oriented innovation.

Curious by nature, Joke is passionate about technology, entrepreneurship, reading, history, and lifelong learning. She believes that the most meaningful impact is created when ambitious people are supported to build strong, resilient companies—without losing sight of why they started in the first place.
