Can we send two people?

Yes — the price covers two people from the same company. A founder plus whoever owns commercial or product works best.

What language is it in?

Sessions and all materials run in English, which is what the work is built for — your international customers and investors read English. Dutch localisation of materials can be arranged on request, scoped separately, and isn't included in the fee.

What if our date fills up?

Each cohort caps at five startups and closes when it's full. Register for the next open date — we'll tell you immediately if a seat opens earlier.

Cancellations and transfers

Transfer to a later 2027 cohort free of charge up to 14 days before your first half-day. Inside 14 days the fee is non-refundable, but you may send a substitute from your company.

You register and sign the participation agreement online. We invoice within two working days; the early-bird rate holds as long as the invoice is paid by its due date.

What you'll work on

Three decisions, made — not discussed.

Five startups is small on purpose. We read your material before the first half-day and rebuild the agenda around the five companies in the room — your positioning goes on the wall, not a case study from someone else's company.

Product-market fit

Which buyer, which problem, which evidence. We pressure-test the fit you think you have against what your pipeline and your users actually say.

A written fit hypothesis with the proof points and the gaps behind it.

Positioning

The sentence your science lives or dies on. We rebuild your category, your alternative and your claim so a technical buyer and a generalist investor both get it fast.

A positioning statement, message hierarchy and proof stack you can hand to anyone.

Building a brand

How the company looks, sounds and behaves once it has to sell. Visual and verbal identity decisions, plus the first assets that carry them.

Brand direction, voice guide and a priority asset list for the next 90 days.

How it runs

Small enough to be about you.

Two half-days, in the room together (13:30–17:30)
One private 1-hour coaching session for your company
Five startups per cohort — bring up to two people
Held in Flanders, delivered in English, materials localised on request
