","html":"","width":"100%","height":180,"duration":1733,"description":"Spentys had customers walk out to build their own thing. Six months later, they showed up again. So what does that really say about the whole 'vibe coding' threat to SaaS?\nLouis-Philippe Broze co-founded Spentys in Brussels while still in his master's. He'd just wrapped a full-time internship at Wooclap. Now he's on Forbes 30 Under 30, and Spentys has 24 people split between Brussels and Georgia. Half their revenue comes from the US. They use 3D scanning, modeling, and printing to digitize custom orthoses and prosthetics.\nLouis-Philippe sat down with Robin Wauters to break down what really happened when customers tried to roll their own solution, and why they came back. He gets into:\nHow Spentys is building AI modules so tailored to orthopedics that nobody else can touch them. \nHow raising money too early burned 18 months they could've kept.\nWhy you should bring on an independent US board member from day one, not years down the line. \nWhy Belgium's political setup is slowing down the whole ecosystem.\nYou'll also hear about the lasagne-and-burger theory for staying sane as a founder, why 80% of patients choose 3D-printed devices, and what Materialise taught him about getting hospitals on board. Listen in, pass it on, and if you're building something big from Belgium, reach out.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/4XPJC_OlhpLAqf1cyr5lTzx0e48D4V69sVcOyf2o9AE/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9iYTNk/Yjk5YmUyNGRlY2Vi/ZjJlYTcyYTQyMGYz/MDFjZS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
