Piet Terheyden

I’m a designer at heart, but my work has always moved between product, business and systems. I care about how things work, how they feel, and what impact they have.

In 2025 I co-founded Random Access Memories, the company behind Pool – an iOS app that turns screenshots into something useful. We’re backed by General Catalyst and other investors.

I built and ran Minimal Gallery, a well-known website inspiration gallery, for over a decade before selling it in 2026. That same year I acquired One Page Love, another leading platform reaching over a million creatives a year. I also acquired the design magazine Minimalissimo in 2025, focussed on curating products and highlighting the people behind them. Together with small teams, I’m building on their strengths and helping them grow.

In 2024 I co-founded Waitless (now Letterby), a waitlist tool with built-in referrals that we sold in 2025. I also created Faxfix in 2024, the simplest way to send faxes and letters online.

In 2020 I founded Literal to help people discover books they’ll actually love and connect through reading. We raised funding and grew to 100k+ users.

Before focusing on my own ventures I ran Some Studio as a design agency, working with over 100 brands – from early-stage startups to companies like Porsche, H&M and Red Bull.

Along the way, I’ve built smaller projects like Fuck I Wish I Knew That and Sort, and made a few angel investments.
