Being a small business owner or a creative independent is exhilarating, but it can also be quite lonely and stressful. One of Many is a reminder that we are not alone. We are part of a growing movement. We are one of many.

Secondly, One of Many aims to combat the internal monologue that keeps some from pursuing their desired craft. By showcasing volumes of people who are already doing it, and they are just like you. We are one of many.

My name is Wesley Verhoeve. I'm based in Brooklyn and Amsterdam, and work out of Friends Work Here. Aside from photography and writing, my day-to-day includes for WeTransfer, volunteering for Creative Mornings and a few other things.

Absolutely! I'd appreciate it. Drop me a line now!

One full week, including the weekend. 

I try to meet as many as possible. Usually, around 35 or so.

For the first six months, I self-funded One of Many. Since then, I have partnered up with several companies to help cover costs. 

Partnership Guidelines:

1. I am personally a paying customer of each partner, and love its product/service.

2. Each partner and their product are aligned with One of Many's mission to inspire, enable and empower creative independents and small business owners.

3. Partners have no editorial influence.

If you're a company that would like to get involved, drop me a line.
