Over TGIF gesproken ... 🚀 Afgelopen vrijdag had ik de eer om deel uit te maken van een inspirerend panelgesprek rond #intrapreneurship tijdens de boeklancering van "F*cking Startups". Niets leuker dan onze intra-avonturen bij huapii delen, van onze eerste stappen bij Solvay tot het integreren bij SD Worx . 🌟 Tijdens het gesprek was het frappant dat alles waar Bruce Fecheyr-Lippens , Alice Tranchant en ik van dachten dat het met Solvay te maken had, eigenlijk bij alle anderen ook gebeurde. Lode ’s boek is dé gids die intrapreneurs helpt om hierdoor te navigeren en innovatie in gang te zetten! 🎉 En dan was het nog niet gedaan, want het 10-jarig jubileum van Start it Accelerate | @KBC was de volgende stop! Altijd geweldig om andere ondernemers terug te zien/te leren kennen en hen met drive en goesting te horen praten over hun volgende plannen #Intrapreneurship #FuckingStartups #StartitAccelerate

"To boldly go where no man has gone before" or how science fiction can inspire entire generations of people to push the frontier of innovation forward, inch by inch, startup by startup. It is also what Start it Accelerate | @KBC has been doing for the last 10 years, without taking equity, without asking for cash 🤯 We were rejected the first time around, perhaps because we weren't bold enough, but when stood in front of Lode Uytterschaut , Hans Kayaert , Ludo Dhelft , and the other judges the second time, and we tackled every insightful question with relative ease, I knew we nailed it. In his book, F*cking Start-ups, Lode Uytterschaut offers guidance on how to set up intrapreneurship in companies, based on his experience at Start it X . I'd highly recommend you take a look! Not just because we're indebted to Start it Accelerate | @KBC and Lode in particular, but also because it is my story. I don't think I ever told him or that Erik Luts (who's supported start it from the beginning) even remembers, but I was once part of the Open Banking and Innovation (OBI) team at KBC Bank & Verzekering , where I discovered intrapreneurship, and where the seed for Trickle was planted. 😅 Life is funny that way... Thanks again, Start it Accelerate | @KBC , Lode Uytterschaut , Nadia Van der Velden , and the whole start it crew! Here's to another 10 years! 🚀 #book #fckingstartups #startit #kbc #startuplife #Trickle #10years
