Hi, I’m Robbert Tigchelaar (metgch)
Hi, I’m Robbert (you can call me Rob, and online my pseudonym is ‘metgch’ due to my rather unusual last name ‘with gch’). I’m an online entrepreneur and the founder of various websites and projects.
Current Companies
At the moment, I am active in the following companies:
- Reachmo.re (Shareholder and Partner): Since 2023, I have been part of Reachmo.re. My main focus here is the development of new tools that support our websites. Our websites have a strong focus on ferry travel (FerryGoGo) and web hosting (ReferMedia).
- Zeist Media Groep (Owner and Editor-in-Chief): When I moved to Zeist in 2022, I decided to start a local website (Zeisters.nl). A few years later, it has grown into Zeist Media Groep, a media company reaching tens of thousands of readers each month.
Partners in crime online
I carry out most of my work in collaboration with my partners at Reachmo.re. A shout-out to them:

- Jan Willem van Tilburg
- Bram Tigchelaar (yes, it’s family!)
