- Have you ever heard the sound of AI ❓ It roars like a jet engine! I could hear it in Ghent, visiting Aikido Security’s office: a server packed with Nvidia chips, running at full power, using AI to test how well a system stands up to cyberattacks. The engineer showing me around, Selim Decamps, comes from Mons and was hired after selling his company to Aikido.

- We first met in 2019. Stayed in touch over the years. Today, as a Business Angel, I couldn't be happier. When I invest as a business angel, I am never just backing a company or a slide deck. I am investing in people. I love to say: “business is: people working with people for other people” My journey with Amaury Gerard goes back more than half a decade! 2019.

- The bird is finally out of the cage. We are Falcon . 🦅 We've raised €1,5M in pre-seed funding led by Syndicate One to build the leading AI law firm of Europe that works like a sharp in-house lawyer: flat-fee contract reviews, returned within 24 hours, with every output validated by our human lawyers. 👊 For most startups, legal means either overpaying a traditional law firm or signing things you don't fully understand.
