Yourmentors
Co-founders for 15 years in startups such as Menu Next Door, Nicolas and Mathieu cover the varying skills a founder needs to succeed. With their two different approaches to building something new, they function as an entrepreneurial ying and yang. For the past few years, they've been supporting startups, first with Nico at The Family Belgium and then together at Creatures.

Mathieu loves to help founders with some of the most pragmatic subjects in business: finance, legal, operations, tech. He knows all the ins and outs when it comes to venture capital and raising money.

“Building a company is hard, it can feel like trying to cross a desert. Mathieu and Nicolas are super creative, they’ve helped me find funding alternatives and new ways to deal with regulations. When you’re in the go-to-market phase, it helps to be talking about the details every day with true partners. Big thanks to Nico and Mathieu both.”
