Residential coaches

Our residential coaches will answer all your questions about entrepreneurship. One coach at least is always in the business centre. They will gladly share their wide ranging experience.

They also maintain a broad network of 'in residence' coaches and other specialists in various fields. If you have a specific question or a problem, we can put you in touch with the right person who will help you.

    Chris Raman

    Chris is the driving force of the Ajuinlei1 concept and has decades of experience as a serial entrepreneur. He has personally experienced most growth bottlenecks during the lifetime of a company. He will help you with all your questions about entrepreneurship. If he does not know the answer, he can refer you to the right person in his extensive network.

    Talk to him about new ideas, new products, new services and how to successfully market them. But above all he is a ‘family business adviser’: he mediates company transfers and take-overs, and raises growth-capital for B2B companies with growth potential.

    And also: he enjoys learning from other people's experiences.
