Why We Invested — TechWolf
Normally as a VC, you need to figure out pretty quickly whether you want to invest in a company or not. In the case of TechWolf, I’ve had the chance to work with the founders (Andreas De Neve, Jeroen Van Hautte and Mikaël Wornoo) for the past two years as an advisor, so we have an in-depth understanding of the solution, the team, and the business problem they are solving.
