As a result, cybersecurity has become a necessity, not a luxury. That is where KeepYourHomeIP comes in: a startup making it simple for anyone to browse securely, no matter where you are in the world.
A private VPN, reimagined
The idea for KeepYourHomeIP was born during the COVID-19 pandemic, when remote work suddenly became the global norm. Founder Pedja Jerinic, with an entrepreneurial background, recognized how vulnerable internet connections were and saw an opportunity to protect people working outside their homes. Pedja’s vision? Using your own network is generally safer than using public Wi-Fi, and with KeepYourHomeIP, this enhanced security is guaranteed.
KeepYourHomeIP offers a private VPN infrastructure. Instead of connecting to third-party servers, users connect to their own. Each customer receives two routers: one to set up as a home or office server, and a second as a travel router. Wherever they go, the travel router connects securely back to their home server, ensuring privacy and security.
The process starts by connecting a travel router to a public Wi-Fi network. Then, devices can be linked to the travel router. This setup encrypts the connection between the devices and the public Wi-Fi, while also routing traffic through your home ISP provider for a secure and private online experience.
Data security should not be a privilege, but a standard for everyone, no matter where they are in the world.”
From idea to product
KeepYourHomeIP is not a typical startup. From the very beginning, Pedja chose an entrepreneurial route. Instead of spending months creating a minimum viable product before selling, he started validating his idea right away. By experimenting with third-party devices, he was able to test the concept in the market. He saw traction within just a few weeks.
Encouraged by this early demand, KeepYourHomeIP invested in developing its own hardware and building plug-and-play software that makes setup accessible to anyone. This ease of use remains one of their strongest differentiators, especially compared to competitors, where installation is often technical and time-consuming.
Joining YES!Delft
Today, KeepYourHomeIP has grown into a global company with around ten employees, serving customers worldwide. Their users include remote workers, digital nomads, frequent travellers, and security-conscious families. And that is not all. In 2024, the company joined the YES!Delft Cybersecurity Batch, a program that not only sharpened their business fundamentals but also reinforced their vision of making secure, private browsing accessible to everyone, everywhere.
YES!Delft pushed me to think bigger. They showed me how to connect those early steps to scaling globally: through smarter fundraising, clearer pricing, and above all, the right network.”
