Meet Daan.
Daan is the founder of Altruïs and advocates for workplace digital wellbeing.

Driven by a passion for creating balanced, focused work environments, Daan started Altruïs to share actionable strategies that make a real difference.
AAAAttention, please.
Our approach is both practical and empathetic, focusing on helping teams manage digital distractions and find a sustainable way to engage with technology.
Authentic
Authentic as in true. True to yourself, to your nature, to your human nature. Naturally!
Attentive
If you can’t see it, you can’t fix it. The battle for our attention is fierce, but so are we.
Altruistic
Altruism is essentially the intention to do good. Sounds simple, is vital.
Adaptive
If you want to thrive, you have to bend and adapt to whatever comes your way.
History of Altruïs
2020-2021
Altruïs founded
Altruïs was founded in 2020. Our mission? To make the internet more altruistic. We designed and built websites and apps with moral values at the core of our decision-making, such as focusing on carbon-efficient web design, not using irritating cookie policies, and respecting users' attention with efficient design.
2021-2022
We Are Founders Programme
WeAreFounders is a 9-month start-up acceleration program in BeCentral, a digital campus of organisations at the Brussels Central Station. We learned a lot about entrepreneurship and kept working to improve our services. The mission was renewed, because we wanted to help people create a healthier relationship with technology in their daily lives, instead of letting their tech control them.
2022-2023
Consciously Digital Course
We started launching new services. During 2022 and 2023 Daan followed a course to become a coach in digital well-being. By the second half of 2023, after finishing our final design projects, we started giving workshops and offering coaching for clients.
2024
Going forward
A highlight of 2024 was speaking at the Future of Digital Well-Being Conference in Amsterdam and being a jury member at the Workbeats festival in Belgium.
