From Idea to Exit: What Serial Founders Know That First-Timers Don’t

Why do some founders seem to move faster, raise smarter, and exit bigger? It’s not luck—it’s experience. Serial entrepreneurs don’t just launch startups; they engineer outcomes. They approach funding as a strategic chess game, not a survival tactic. They build cultures that scale, not ones that implode under pressure. They obsess over squeezing time—knowing exactly when to pivot, double down, or cut losses. And most importantly, they start with the end in mind, crafting businesses that are not just viable, but highly acquirable.  In this session, we bring together three powerhouse repeat founders—Jurgen Ingels, Lorenz Bogaert, and Sebastien Deletaille—each with a different playbook for success. They’ll share the counterintuitive lessons that separate seasoned entrepreneurs from first-timers, from navigating investor psychology to ensuring your company doesn’t just survive but thrives in a competitive exit landscape. Whether you’re launching your first venture or aiming for a bigger, faster, and more profitable exit, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
