Koen De Waele tends to back software that turns hard-to-capture workplace knowledge—onboarding, privacy and security processes, or customer data—into clear, trackable systems, and he often takes an active role afterward, sitting on boards and pushing founders to balance gut instinct with real metrics. Known in Belgium for his deep logistics knowledge and mentorship at The Birdhouse, he's also spoken publicly about why local investors have been slow to back HR tech and what could change that.
