## About
Laurens founded Syndicate One (https://techwiki.ai/investors/syndicate-one/llms.txt) in Brussels (https://techwiki.ai/cities/brussels/llms.txt), building it into a structured vehicle for angel co-investment in Belgian tech startups. The syndicate pools deal flow and capital from a network of experienced founders and operators, including LPs such as Stijn Christiaens (https://techwiki.ai/people/stijn-christiaens/llms.txt), Roeland Delrue (https://techwiki.ai/people/roeland-delrue/llms.txt), and Felix Garriau (https://techwiki.ai/people/felix-garriau/llms.txt).

Laurens works closely with Robin Wauters (https://techwiki.ai/people/robin-wauters/llms.txt) in the Brussels (https://techwiki.ai/cities/brussels/llms.txt) tech ecosystem, where both are active in ecosystem building and media. His work at Syndicate One (https://techwiki.ai/investors/syndicate-one/llms.txt) positions him as a connector between successful Belgian exits and the next generation of startups.
