Found a microphone at the Impact Founders Meetup at Titaan… Ever wondered what happens when you give passionate founders a platform on the spot? Here’s your answer. At the Impact Founder Meetup at Titaan, I stumbled upon a microphone and decided to put it to good use by inviting a few founders to pitch their businesses on the spot. The energy was electric, and the ideas were nothing short of inspiring. 1. Thomas Blekman from Unknown University of Applied Sciences: Thomas captivated us with his vision for Unknown University, an institution dedicated to fostering innovation and entrepreneurship. 2. Mo Qaem from oostaMo: Tea for cold water! Not just for one glass but for 2 liters. Without sugar, calories, or additives. Watermates provide a natural, healthy flavor to your water, encouraging you to drink more for a healthier you. 3. Anne van Halderen from Visionexplorer: Anne’s pitch for Visionexplorer took us to new heights—literally. Her company specializes in capturing breathtaking aerial footage of your business using drone technology. Good news… there is a part 2! Have you ever pitched your business on the spot?

Thrilled to have attended Vivatech 2024 in Paris , Europe's biggest startup and tech event! This incredible experience was filled with inspiring moments and invaluable insights. I had the unique opportunity to participate in a Q&A session with none other than Elon Musk, where we discussed the future of technology and innovation in a more personal note. Listening to Bernard Arnault's perspective on how entrepreneurs should emulate world-class athletes was truly eye-opening. His emphasis on discipline, resilience, and continuous improvement is food for thought for everyone starting their business. Eric Schmidt's prediction regarding call-to-action models being the “next big thing” has sparked new ideas and strategies within our team. Engaging with so many incredible startups and walking almost 60,000 steps in those three days alone was both exhausting and exhilarating! Europe's thriving startup ecosystem, especially the impressive Paris tech scene, showcased the immense potential and innovation happening right there. Here's to driving change, embracing innovation, and building a better future together! A phrase that I liked: "The best way to predict the future is to invent it.” #VivaTech #Innovation #Entrepreneurship #TechForGood #paristech

In the startup world there's an entire ecosystem of companies that "help" you "succeed" for "a small fee" or round you up in events - in which case you *are* the product. In both cases you'll waste time - your most precious resource - and likely some money as well. Yesterday I was invited to attend Voka - Kamer van Koophandel Limburg's Tech Gazelle session with a presentation and in-depth discussion with Frank Zwerts, and let me tell you, this was something different!! What a wealth of useful information! Frank's insights into the trends in the financing landscape were absolutely astonishing and that's not only due to his background as a successful entrepreneur, but also through his insider knowledge of the financial landscape. ++ With the added benefit of a meticulously selected group of entrepreneurs and it made for a killer session! I can't wait to see what comes next! 🔥 My biggest takeaway?? IPOs are not exclusive to large companies; startups can also enter the public market. Fascinating... 🤔 By the way, if you're also looking to avoid wasting time; give trickle a follow! You won't believe what we have in store over the course of the next few months! #voka #techgazelle #startuplife #abitofnetworking #trickle

𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽 𝗕𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 “What is the ‘hair on fire problem’, that you solution tackles?” is the sentence, that we will definitely keep in mind after the business development workshop with our expert Guenter Kraft. Our teams did a great job in presenting their business model and received profound feedback by our expert to develop it further. We're excited to see how each of you will use these new insights! DÏoT | InputLab | Law & Innovation Technology GmbH | LINK2AI GmbH | Trustlens | utilacy GmbH | VISS 🔑 Key Learnings: Start with the really urgent, pressing “burning” problem from the customer's point of view, the “hair on fire-problem”. This way you create the greatest added value for the customer. As a startup, you only have limited resources, so focus on the “burning” problem of the customer. Take the perspective of your customer, who wants a problem to be solved. Thanks to Guenter Kraft and our startups for an inspiring workshop of learning and growth. 👏 Stay tuned for future events and workshops as we continue to foster innovation and growth within our entrepreneurial community.
