- Vous voulez un énième paradoxe belge (c'est cadeau) ? Nos plus belles pépites tech se financent avec des capitaux étrangers... alors que nous sommes champions de l'épargne 🏆 Pourquoi est-ce un problème et que pouvons-nous y faire ? C'est le sujet de ma tribune de ce jour dans L'Echo (where else?) pour De Vrijdaggroep - Groupe du Vendredi En deux mots 👇 ❌ Le problème -> Plus de 2/3 des fonds investis dans nos scale-ups entre 2018 et 2024 viennent de l'étranger. -> Nos licornes sont majoritairement financées par des fonds extra-EU
- ‘Onze techparels groeien met andermans geld’'Als onze beste technologiebedrijven moeten opschalen, halen ze hun geld in de eerste plaats over de grens', schrijft Alessandro Drappa van de Vrijdaggroep. Hij pleit ervoor om de 300 miljard op de Belgische spaarboekjes beter naar de economie te leiden. Daar zullen volgens hem onze bedrijven, onze economie en de spaarders beter van worden.

- Durbuy reminded me of one thing: Belgium does not lack crazy ambitious founders. 🔥 2 days at Yaka! meets WAW! 150 French- and Dutch-speaking entrepreneurs in one place. Here's what really stuck with me: 🎪 Tomorrowland Today it looks like a dream story: a global brand, hundreds of thousands of festivalgoers. You'd think it was a smooth ride from day one. It wasn't. The early years were brutal, and they came close to bankruptcy. Michiel Beers told it with rare honesty. When you see where they are today, it hits
- Big news for Recovr: we're partnering with Mastercard to scale with Europe's largest financial institutions. Last week, we officially kicked off with Mastercard at their European headquarters in Waterloo, as part of Mastercard Lighthouse. For us, this is a strategic step. Since the beginning, Recovr has helped businesses take control of their receivables and get paid on time. The next chapter is about scale: working with banks, financial institutions and large corporates on projects that go well beyond a single company. That's
- La compta bouge en France. Et en ce moment, elle bouge TRÈS vite. Pennylane, Qonto, Visma, Cegid,… Les acteurs accélèrent, les outils évoluent, les annonces s’enchaînent. Il faut presque refaire la carte du marché entre deux congrès 😅 Comme chaque année, très heureux de retrouver le Congrès de l’ordre des experts-comptables avec Recovr. Et cette édition s’annonce particulièrement animée. Facture électronique, IA, automatisation… Ça fait beaucoup de changements à absorber pour les cabinets. Mais aussi des occasions de gagner du
- Interesting insight from Joachim Wilcke, it also resonates with a discussion we had: why do startup founders invest so little in lobbying and shaping the rules around them? For me, it's also linked to a simple reason: founders move faster than lawmakers. A founder facing business-unfriendly regulation rarely thinks "let’s spend the next five years changing this but rather "these are the rules of the game so how do I win anyway?” I think that this mindset is almost a prerequisite for building a startup, so that's also why most
- Après les 7 fusillades de ces derniers jours à Bruxelles (dont un commissariat pris pour cible à l’arme automatique), je n'ai qu'une chose à dire: Amis bruxellois, tenons bon, la fin des trottinettes électriques partagées approche ! Les narcotrafiquants, jusqu'ici protégés par leur redoutable moyen de locomotion (un engin géolocalisé, lié à un compte utilisateur, qui plafonne à 20 km/h), sentent que l'étau se resserre ! J'imagine que l'agitation de ces derniers jours doit être liée au stress de la reconversion... mais je n'ai nul
