We are Zerostock

From the early days of the internet, I was importing sunglasses from China and selling them to my high school camrades when i was 14 years old. I decided I only had one goal in life, trading goods inside my own company. Easier said than done, after finishing my bilingual VWO education during high school, I decided to follow university (because that was the smartest thing to do, they said…). After one year I quit because I hate learning theories invented by old philosophers who were long dead. I wanted to trade and commercialise. I started HBO Commercial economics at the HAN in Nijmegen. Here is where I found the love for trading, I learned all the details about sales and marketing. I followed an internship in China, from where I was buying products for famous Dutch companies. I lived here for a year, learning the good and bad ways of the China export. Gained knowledge about prices, products, quality and transportation. After this amazing experience, I became an internship at the Netherlands biggest stocklot buying company. After a period of 6 months I stayed to become a purchaser for the company.

During this period, together with my 2 colleagues we were responsible for buying over 2000 different stocklots, companies, bankrupcies, inventories, assortment changes, furniture and shop returns. From big construction companies with heavy machinery, till 21 trailers of lighting, nothing was strange during this time. My heart starting beating for the trade and his various products and customers all over the world. I only missed one thing, to follow my dream of having my own company, and sharing my strengths and weaknesses with a trustworthy companion, to laugh, share and trade happily with. That’s when my biggest competitor became my fellow companion, living in the dream we both had.
