In the late 90s, Pieter started off as an "internet hustler" with various eBay shops and building tailor-made PCs. In 2004 retail was starting to see online disruption and Pieter turned around an old-fashioned photo camera store from "analog to digital". Building one of the first online & offline hybrid formulas was a big hit and revenue grew quickly.
In 2012 he sold the company and made the switch to 3D Printing Service bureau and Marketplace, Shapeways. At first, taking care of the EMEA supply chain, putting in place management reporting, lower cost and lead-time and scaling from a handful of vendors to 50+ and later joined the MT in NYC to head up Growth, Sales & Business Development.
After almost 6 years at Shapeways, it was time for a change and through some consulting and failed startup projects Pieter stumbled upon RFID and the untapped potential. This led to the launch of Mobilo.

Imagine walking through the bathroom door at 7am and the shower starts itself at optimal water heat and pressure. The thermostat adjusts when you enter the room. Want a new bathroom tub? What if you could 3D print it? High-tech homes are about to revolutionize the way we live.

Jul 2004 - Sept 2012
Founder Foto Weert
During the photography transition from analog to digital, I realized the future would a hybrid of online and offline. While everybody in retail was busy launching pure (online) players, I focused on leveraging the online presence for my brick & mortar retail stores.
Leveraging Google search for local searches and price comparison websites to drive a ton of traffic as people still preferred to get info online but spend their money in a retail store. This was digital marketing before it was digital marketing.
The business grew quickly as I was one of the first in the Netherlands to have click-and-collect where you could reserve online and pick-up instore.
