Julie Capiau

Julie Capiau joined 100IN as a Partner alongside Jorn Vanysacker and Gilles Mattelin, who founded the fund following their exit from legal AI company Henchman in 2024. The 100IN model is structured around EUR 100K checks to 100 Belgian startups, deployed from a EUR 12M vehicle.

Julie brings a different background to the trio: where Jorn and Gilles came from a SaaS and legal tech operator path, Julie's prior experience spans consumer-facing brands including TheMerode and Maison Dandoy, a heritage Belgian biscuit house. This mix gives 100IN coverage across both tech-native and consumer brand ventures.

She holds a Master in Business Engineering with a specialization in Entrepreneurship from Solvay Business School (2010-2012).

Julie is also connected to the broader Belgian founder community through Syndicate One, the angel investment co-operative that brought together more than 120 founders, operators, and investors. Her participation in the EUR 22M oversubscribed first close of a Syndicate One vehicle underscores her embeddedness in the Belgian early-stage community.

Julie's profile is distinct from the typical Flemish tech-operator-turned-investor. Her Brussels base, Solvay pedigree, and consumer brand background broaden 100IN's deal flow beyond the Ghent SaaS cluster. She represents the growing participation of Brussels-based professionals in the Belgian startup investment ecosystem.
