GUIDO KLOMPENMAKER

In 2022, Guido Klompenmaker left Lelystad for the United States to play basketball at Ellsworth Community College in Iowa. After one year, he transferred to Ottawa University in Kansas, where he completed his college career.

During this journey, he saw how difficult and unclear the process can be for young athletes who share the same dream. Too little information, too little personal guidance, and too many parties who don't make it personal.

In 2024, he founded Windmills with one mission: make the journey to America more personal, efficient, and accessible. Within five months, Windmills placed more than 17 athletes at American universities.

ABOUT WINDMILLS

What makes Windmills unique?

At Windmills, personal attention is central. We actively communicate with both the student and parents, ensuring everyone ends up at the right school. Our team has gone through the process themselves and knows exactly what it takes.

Where does the name 'Windmills' come from?

The name symbolizes how the process gains momentum. Like a windmill that looks simple from the outside but is complex and constantly moving inside — that's how our guidance process works. It starts with a first step and builds momentum.

How was Windmills founded?

Windmills was founded in 2024 by Guido Klompenmaker, a former college basketball player who played in the US himself. After his experiences at Ellsworth Community College (Iowa) and Ottawa University (Kansas), he decided to improve the process for other athletes.
