Founder of Ryoka Group

Pieter Borremans

Writer, digital entrepreneur, and software founder. Born in Indonesia, raised in Belgium, based between Taipei and London.

Pieter Borremans is the founder of Ryoka Group, a company that builds, operates, and invests in software products. He has spent 25 years living and working across countries, a restlessness that shaped everything he does now.

He started his first business at 22 and sold it almost fifteen years later, just before AI, no-code, and vibecoding made it possible for anyone without a development background to build software from scratch. That shift is what Ryoka was built to work inside.

Alongside Ryoka, he writes about the psychological and emotional side of building alone: the burnout, the loneliness, the decision fatigue, and the small wins that keep you going. Most indie hacker content covers tactics and revenue. He writes about what it actually feels like.
