We're Sam Renders and Nick Velten. 25+ years in the online world between us, we rode the internet revolution from day one and we're at the start of the AI revolution now. Same playbook, new stack.

Nick started Stimmt in 2006, Sam started Sam Feldt in 2012. We started Fangage together in 2016, raised €2.3M and sold to Triller in 2022. Sam launched Healify in 2025. Billions in client revenue flowed through platforms we built along the way.

Now we run Hello World, our third company together. Four pillars under one roof: AI projects, an active angel fund, advisory work and a masterclass programme teaching teams to ship. Same conviction we had in 1999: get close to the builders, ship fast, stay honest about what's real.

Let's talk

Thirty minutes. Whichever pillar fits, same conversation, same people. If it fits somewhere else better, we'll say so and connect you to someone from the network.
