## About
TLDR

Matthias Browaeys is Founder at WinWinner.

Background

Matthias Browaeys, founder of crowdlending platform Winwinner, recounts starting the platform as a bachelor thesis project at Artevelde Hogeschool after spotting a gap in the Belgian market compared to the Netherlands. He explains Winwinner's model: entrepreneurs run 40-day loan campaigns, and since crowdlending is treated as own-capital contribution, it unlocks bank financing  -  his 'stapelfinanciering' (stacked financing) concept, on which he wrote a book. He shares numbers (400+ companies funded, €60M+ raised, ~2% default), the story of The Harbour (a funding advisory spun up while waiting for licenses), and plans for European expansion using a new EU crowdfunding license. He reflects candidly on struggling with credibility as a young marketer in finance, the value of strategic partnerships and experienced hires, Winwinner's unlimited-vacation policy, his TV appearances on Jonge Wolven and Goed Bezig, and the importance of a personal mentor.
