Nvisionize

As a 2x cofounder + advisor to startups, I'm experienced in setting up and structuring a start-up company (or enterprise innovation team) with technology as foundation. In a nutshell, the process includes developing the value proposition and product/market fit, attracting the right resources (people, investors, partners), developing the initial processes and getting the company ready to scale. I have implemented theoretical models such as lean startup, design-thinking, and agile development methodologies, scaling teams in real-time from 0 to 50 employees.

I can also help you with:
- Having raised several Seed and Series rounds as a founder (over €40 million), I can assist you in fine-tuning your deck and navigating the A-Z of the fundraising process.
- Providing assistance with technical and commercial due diligence for investors.
- Guiding the setup of your own innovation hub (e.g., 'moonshot factory'): this includes insight into market problems, exploration of potential solutions (often requiring the development of new business models), validation of assumptions through prototyping, and development of initial processes and resources for future scaling.
- Enhancing your technology and product marketing strategies. Strengthening your employer branding.
