- Dream so big you get uncomfortable telling small-minded people." - Pietro Terzini I shared our dream with the Wintercircus family last night during our Community Season Opening: Putting Europe back on the map as global leaders in technology and entrepreneurship. Out of Ghent, Belgium. We want to become the European Y Combinator. Ridiculously ambitious? Probably. Delusional? I hope so, because Stef Wynendaele would say it's the biggest compliment we could get. And through our dream, we aim to make yours reality. Big time.

- I turned 40 this year. To be honest, it scared me. 40 is not how I feel inside. So I decided to make it the best year of my life instead. Here's what happened. 👇 🏊♂️🚴♂️🏃♂️ I finished my first Ironman. Call it a midlife crisis. 9 months of training, countless 5am alarms, real sacrifices from the people around me. 226km later I crossed the line, and understood why people get addicted to hard things. ☂️ I sold Mbrella. After 5 years, we joined forces with D'Ieteren. Together with every Mbrellian, we helped replace 10,000+
