Flatline Agency of the 24-year-old High Flyer Dylan Laseur and his brother Robin, literally outgrew the office.

MASTERS talks to Dylan, where does he see are Flatline Agency in 3 years?

Text: Fleur de JongJust over two years ago, the brothers wanted to set up an online platform to completely digitize the rental market for houses. But when they said they had written to parties from all over Europe, but could not find anyone to do this at a normal rate, they decided to do it themselves. In May 2019, the young entrepreneurs called Flatline Agency in life; a young company focused on web, app and software development. The core business is high-end, custom development and design. The brothers once started the company in Robin's basement, but the duo has now moved to an office four times as large in the Gerard Doustraat in Amsterdam, together with their 14 employees. Yet the entrepreneurs have even greater ambitions and are always looking for the best and most unique talents from the market to continue to guarantee quality and growth.

What is your personal USP?

“Infinite ambition, work ethic and genuine interest in other people or relationships and their growth ambitions." 

What can the older generation of entrepreneurs learn from you?

“I try to be fast, honest and transparent at all times, I think this is very important. I therefore ensure that I am available at any time, seven days a week, and can always get to work within two hours.” 

Who is your mentor or source of inspiration in the field of entrepreneurship?

“I have many sources of inspiration and this often starts with reading books. If I had to choose one or more, it would be Richard Brandson, through his passion and innovation, Elon musk, for his work ethic and large-scale thinking and Adrian Mol as a Dutch IT hero and serial entrepreneur. All three of these entrepreneurs have areas in which they excel by far and they all share my favorite pillar 'ambition'.''

What is your motto or quote?

"I learn from the best, and outwork the rest''

What is the biggest entrepreneurial risk you have taken so far?

“I think the biggest risk was our scaling up with the help of the most experienced and best paid developers available at that time, as there was actually no budget for this at the time. We did this because you simply achieve the best results only with the best people. As a result, we took a big risk at the time and scaled up before it was actually possible."

Where will you be in three years?

“We are currently growing rapidly in the Netherlands and Belgium and are making strong preparations to expand internationally. In short, within three years we expect international... go-to to be a party for custom development.''Do you know or are you a successful, young entrepreneur who also deserves a place in the spotlight?
