What our entrepreneurs are up to

Quinten
Founder of Tof Jerky
Florence
Founder of Babine
Emna Everard
Co-founder of Kazidomi
Kazidomi began as a simple university project, an idea sparked by a desire to make healthy, sustainable shopping more accessible. At just 24, fresh out of Solvay Business School, Emna Everard dove headfirst into entrepreneurship. Even without any professional experience to fall back on, she had nothing to lose and everything to build. Today, years later Kazidomi has grown into a thriving platform offering thousands of carefully curated products, including its own brand line, and is on track to achieve multimillion-euro sales. Never one to stand still, Emna continued to push boundaries, co-founding Pulse in 2024 — a bold new venture aiming to break stereotypes around protein consumption and make it accessible to everyone.

Her journey shows how an idea born at university can become something much bigger.
Thomas Angerer & Boris Kaisin
Founders of BeInfluence
Thomas Angerer and Boris Kaisin began their entrepreneurial journey with nothing more than a shared idea and a lot of experimentation. What started as a few trials on campus, testing different ways to connect brands with influencers, soon turned into something much bigger as they realized the potential of their concept. Fueled by a shared passion and complementary skills, they co-founded BeInfluence — a platform designed to make influencer marketing more authentic and effective.

Over the years, their startup has grown into a leading player in the industry, with a team of 40+ employees and numerous recognition for innovation. BeInfluence is known for its creative campaigns, its focus on results, and the powerful partnership at its core — the same partnership that took two university friends from brainstorming ideas in a dorm room to building an award-winning business.
