Co-founder of LaunchPanda

Jeroen is the co-founder of LaunchPanda. After almost 12 years of entrepreneurship, starting different companies, doing agency work and journalism, I recently pivoted to building. LaunchPanda applies the SEO skills I picked up over that career to the one problem every new product runs into, getting found. I write here about my experiences with launching, backlinks, improving your domain rating, and the practical growth tactics indie builders can use to actually ship, most of them tested on LaunchPanda first.
