Etienne van ’t Kruys: From Vision to Venture —

“At District 7, we believe that the most valuable perspectives come from those who’ve had to earn them.”
Our co-owner, Etienne van ’t Kruys, brings exactly that — a rare blend of grit, global experience, and visionary thinking that transforms businesses, people, and industries.
Born in Suriname, Etienne’s path was never handed to him. While studying pharmacy at Utrecht University, he experienced periods of homelessness — challenges that tested his resolve and shaped his sharp, independent mindset. That same mindset would later define his success as a venture builder, strategist, and early-stage investor.
In 2016, Etienne founded TRGC, a digital asset fund focused on identifying and supporting the blockchain protocols that would go on to shape the decentralised internet. Under his leadership, the fund backed category-defining technologies — including Kava, Akash, and Avalanche — long before they became unicorns.

But for Etienne, District 7 is more than a business.

It’s the logical next step in a bigger vision:

“To build a next-generation tech organisation that blends world-class talent, infrastructure, and culture into one seamless, global operation.”

His plan is clear:

  • Scale high-performance teams across Europe, the Middle East and South Asia
  • Create strategic partnerships with visionary companies and VCs
  • Deliver not just tech talent, but long-term value and operational firepower
  • Develop a culture of extreme ownership, cross-border collaboration and continuous innovation
