Groen in 2015

... that Jitse Groen (pictured) founded Takeaway.com while still a student, after being unable to get a takeaway delivered to North Holland? Source: "Het idee achter eet- en bestelwebsite Thuisbezorgd ontstond precies zoals je zou verwachten: oprichter Jitse Groen (1978) wil in 1999 samen met zijn familie in de kop van Noord-Holland Chinees bestellen op een verjaardag, maar vindt online enkel pizza in Amsterdam, zo’n 60 kilometer verderop. Een half jaar later registreert Groen – student bedrijfsinformatietechnologie aan de Universiteit Twente – zich als ondernemer bij de Kamer van Koophandel en begint hij met de opzet van de webwinkel."

Long enough, new enough, no opyvio issues. Only has one hook but not an issue for me. The ref confirms the hook (Dutch is very similar to Afrikaans) Gbawden (talk) 10:38, 5 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

North Holland[edit]

JRB-Europe I've made the text clearer to match the source. The source makes clear reference to North Holland, although I've tried to make it clearer that he didn't live there. The source says "Het idee achter eet- en bestelwebsite Thuisbezorgd ontstond precies zoals je zou verwachten: oprichter Jitse Groen (1978) wil in 1999 samen met zijn familie in de kop van Noord-Holland Chinees bestellen op een verjaardag, maar vindt online enkel pizza in Amsterdam, zo’n 60 kilometer verderop" which translates as "The idea behind the food and order website Thuisbezorgd was born exactly as you would expect: founder Jitse Groen (1978) wants to order Chinese food with his family in the head of North Holland in 1999 on a birthday, but only finds pizza online in Amsterdam, so 60 kilometers away." Wikipedia follows what sources say, and this source says North Holland is relevant. Joseph2302 (talk) 09:03, 12 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
