Dirk van der Velde is the founder of Momentasize Companies. He’s a freedom-loving husband, father, and entrepreneur.

The concept of Momentasize was first born in 2019 while Dirk was training for his first 100-mile race. During a run with his good friend and training partner, Matt, he was attempting to explain how running had changed his life. As he struggled to put the feeling into words, he blurted out that it helped him “momentasize” his life. Every difficult run led him into a flow state that in turn, helped him in both his personal and professional life to conquer each and every moment or to... “Momentasize” it. The idea stuck with him, and using this foundational mindset, he went on to create Momentasize Companies in 2021.

The Momentasize brand now encompasses a construction, development, and real estate investment company. Dirk and his wife Shai have a huge vision for Momentasize Companies. Their mission is to bring dreams to life through the built environment and share a passion for bringing many minds and hundreds of hands together to bring these dreams into reality. "We live the growth mindset. We create and love doing it."
