A nudge, in the right direction.
Sometimes you don't need a whole programme. Just a good conversation with someone who has been in your shoes.
Test phase
Nudge is in its test phase.
We're testing the concept with a small group and are looking for participants to give us feedback.
Who it's for
What can Nudge help you with?
Whether you just have an idea, have only just started out on your own or have been running a local business for years: if you have a question, you're welcome.
A concrete question
Something is on your mind and you're looking for someone who can think it through with you from experience.
Testing an idea
You'd like to talk through your idea, approach or next step with someone who has been there before. Even if you haven't started yet.
Just bouncing ideas around
You don't need a fully defined problem. Sometimes you just want to exchange thoughts with someone who has experience.
Want to give someone a nudge too? Helping a starter doesn't have to take much time. Share what you've learned along the way and help someone move forward. No strings attached, whenever it suits you.
Why Nudge
No programme. Just the right conversation.
Coaching, networking events, endless searching on LinkedIn… Sometimes all you need is one good conversation with someone who has been through it.
-
Easy to start
No months-long programme, complicated intake or selection process. Sometimes one good conversation is all you need.

No searching

Personal
No generic tips, but someone who can think along from their own experience about what you're working on today.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can't find your question? Feel free to get in touch. Even if you're not sure whether Nudge is for you, we're happy to think it through with you.
What does it cost?
Nudge is currently in its test phase, so taking part is free for now. We're testing how it works and what we offer, and based on the first experiences we'll decide how best to offer Nudge in the long run.
Do I need to have a company already?
No. You don't need to be registered with the KBO (the Belgian company register) and you don't need a business plan. Nudge is for anyone who runs a business or wants to start one: from someone with just an idea to a local self-employed professional who has been at it for years. Have a question or just want to bounce some ideas around? You're welcome.
What happens after I sign up?
After you sign up, we look at your question and search for someone who's a good fit. Once we've found a suitable match, we align the details and put you in touch.
How is my match chosen?
We mainly look at your concrete challenge and at the experience someone has with a similar challenge. That way we find someone who, from their own experience, can really make a difference to what you're dealing with today.
How quickly will I be matched?
That depends on your question and on who's available in our network. Sometimes we find a good match quickly, sometimes it takes a little longer. Either way, we'll keep you posted.
What happens during the conversation?
You decide together how long the conversation lasts and what you discuss. The content depends on your concrete question: maybe you want feedback on your idea, advice on a particular challenge or just to bounce ideas off someone with experience.
Nudge mainly gets the right person to the table. What you get out of the conversation is up to you.
I'm an experienced entrepreneur myself. Can I help?
Absolutely. Sign up as an experienced entrepreneur and we'll get in touch to see how you can help starters.
Am I tied to anything?
No. Taking part is completely non-binding for both sides. You decide whether you want to have a conversation and whether you'd like to stay in touch afterwards. As an experienced entrepreneur, you also decide when and how much you want to help.
Ready for a nudge forward?
Signing up only takes a few minutes. Tell us what's on your mind and we'll find someone who can help you from experience.
