What is Allez Startups?

Behind-the-scenes interviews with Belgium’s startup founders, investors and local experts.

I’m Claudia, a Talent and People advisor for startups and a former founder. When I moved to Belgium in 2022, I explored the local startup scene. It seemed small, fragmented, full of complexities and hurdles.

Digging deeper, I realised Belgium is full of bold founders, scaling startups and an ecosystem that’s on the rise.

But most of its stories remain untold, or only shared in local networks.

This podcast aims to change that.

I’m pulling back the curtain to spotlight Belgium’s startup founders, investors and local experts. They’ll share real, personal stories about what happens behind-the-scenes, the knowledge they built and lessons learnt along the way.

Expect local inspiration and hands-on knowledge, in English, across regional barriers — so we can all learn from others' journeys.
