<\/span>1. Hi Yori. Thank you for agreeing to do the interview. Could you tell us about your background and how you entered the startup world?<\/b><\/p>\n

I started my finance career and worked in management consulting, mostly for bigger SMEs. After working in the traditional consulting world for quite a few years, felt it was time for a change. So I started freelancing and also started mentoring some startups on the side.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, I entered the startup world more when I joined <\/span>Startupbootcamp<\/span><\/a>, a startup accelerator, as their Global Finance Director. It was a very inspiring environment, working with a talented international team and meeting a lot of different founders. While being responsible for finance on a group level, I also did a lot of work for portfolio companies: providing financial advice from the early stages until exit. I enjoy the energy of a fast-paced environment and the possibility to quickly add value, which is important to me.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. You\u2019re the Managing Partner for Benelux at torq.partners<\/a>, a consulting firm that supports startups in their scaling journey. Tell us more about your mission. How do you help companies?<\/b><\/p>\n

At <\/span>torq.partners<\/span><\/a>, our mission is to help fast-growing companies create stability while growing their businesses. Hence our slogan: \u201cstability in motion.\u201d We help startups create scalable finance processes so they can have insights into their performance, proactively steer their business, and report to their stakeholders easily. We also help startups with fundraising rounds by providing hands-on support and connecting them to the right investors. Lastly, we offer HR consulting, but at the moment, just in Germany.<\/span><\/p>\n

We have a diverse and international team of professionals that have all worked with startups before, which adds a lot of value and helps us make a lot of impact on our clients. We help our clients by providing them with industry standards and best practices, having worked with hundreds of startups in multiple industries and countries.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Could you tell us what about entrepreneurship particularly attracts you?<\/b><\/p>\n

What I like most about entrepreneurship is shapings things the way you envision them. We see that the domain we\u2019re operating in, \u201cback office\u201d support for startups, is still an area where many improvements can be made. And, with the current changing macroeconomic conditions, it\u2019s also important to help your clients proactively and creatively.<\/span><\/p>\n

We often partner with innovative startups to see how we can embed their services or products into our client\u2019s processes and improve our services. So we\u2019re constantly exploring the market and seeing many new things, which allows us to keep innovating our business all the time, making it very interesting.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. What are the top three lessons for founders you learned over the years in the startup world?
