About Frog Ventures, LLC
We’re a service providing company in the housing market based out of Colorado Springs, CO USA.
Our services span the entire globe, with the current emphasis on the High Rockies of Colorado.
There’s one big denominator in everything we do: we want to contribute to the transition of both the housing market and the building industry.
We don’t just dream about it, we get it done!
The housing market needs more variety. That’s why we collaborate on housing developments.
The world needs a more efficient, cleaner, and better way of building, so we are in direct touch with cutting edge facilities that do just that.
We stand for quality and good design, which is what we strongly advocated for on the Design Committee of a brand called ModernMod.
Natural building materials should be readily available, so we’re building bridges between the producers and builders to create more efficient supply chains.
We want organizations and businesses within the housing market to benefit from our hard-won knowledge, experience, and international network. That’s why we offer our services.
We’re making way for today’s better builds!
About our President Frieda Bakker
Frog Ventures is owned and managed by Frieda Bakker (42). Frieda is a Dutch citizen with a growing love for the USA, which she now calls her home away from home.
She started her career as an agricultural counselor with a Bachelor’s Degree in Advisory and International Communication. She didn’t follow the standard career path, but was blessed having different experiences being manager of an eco-center, team-leader in a distribution center, and social media expert for a hostel chain in Amsterdam. However, about 8 years ago she found herself stuck in the clamp many people find themselves in these days: working a job that didn’t really suit her, in order to pay for a home that is too big, with too much stuff in it.
The tiny house as a concept entered her life in 2013 and it made sense. She therefore downsized majorly (and found out she’s actually a minimalist), started living small on 200 sq.ft., and went to the USA on a regular basis to research the topic as at that time no one else was in the Netherlands. She presented about the topic in podcasts, in international magazines, in interviews of national newspapers, on her own website, and as a speaker at events in both the USA and Europe. It helped spark the Tiny House Movement in The Netherlands and she became an internationally renowned Small-Living expert.
While going back and forth between the USA and Europe she learned that there’s a huge need for a change in the Coloradoan housing market, in the use of materials, and in the way houses are being build. With her network and position she realized this provides incredible opportunities for a thriving business while making a difference at the same time. For Frieda there was only one response to that: Frog Ventures was born.
