🌟 In September 2023, 49 entrepreneurs joined our community through the WeAreFounders program. Fast forward 9 months and it's already the end of the program! 🚀 This cohort participated in workshops, networking events, pitches, parties and more. Some pivoted, some found co-founders while others parted ways, some refined strategies, gained first clients and sought funding. They faced the highs and lows of entrepreneurship, but they did it together, as a Community, at WeAreFounders. We couldn't be prouder of them! To YOU, Ronny Cuyt, Sapir Chmelkin, Anaïs Zaouk, Adrien Nicaise, Anis Addouh, Arnaud de Chevigny, Nicolas Amiel, Mathieu Hanquin, Roger Tilmans, Davide Gianluca Vaccaro, Pauline Janta-Polczynski, Julie Baleriaux, yann dufournet, Dmitry Kovalev, Cedric Sounard, Corneliu Gaina, Zilfi Balci, Marie Lambert, Alexandre Quertain, Hicham Amsailale, Frédéric Jacquemyns, Yannick Vandenthoren 👍☕️, Jesse Renard, Emilie Beaumont, Gregory Roger, Quinten Dockx, Jef Janssens, Tanja A.L.

More exciting news! ⚡️ We will soon set up camp at the BeCentral digital campus! It was ♥️ at first sight: the old railway company building has been renovated with respect for the old interior architecture, leading to crazy eclectic spaces where history still wanders the hallways. It boasts excentric break-out spaces everywhere, long meandering corridors for creative walking brainstorms, and that community vibe: we believe we could charge our ModuleOnes just with the vibe alone! ⚡️🔥 One more thing: it's next to Brussels Central Station, super convenient. Thank you Luc Bossaert and Ethernetics for the initial invite, and thank you Manuela Mio for the enthusiasm! Made choosing our office location so much easier. We have the impression to be joining a community rather than renting an office. 🙏🏻 BeCentral, here we come! 🤘 #digital #innovation #energy #technology #startup #office
