Hi, I am Sabine VanderLinden – Many of my friends call me Mrs VdL.

I have been in business for over 25 years. I worked for very well-known and respected blue-chip companies. And 6 years ago, I decided to take the entrepreneurial and investor route and ran a very well-known acceleration program for early-stage startups in Europe and the United States, while also engaging with investors and corporations in Asia, Africa and LATAM. 

Yes. I know. Five continents in 5 years. 70 startups accelerated during that period. Lots of Airmiles. $100 million invested in accelerated portfolios. And certainly, lots of learnings. 

Since then, my team and I have scouted over 20,000 ventures to help both corporates and investors identify new sources of growth. 

I want to dedicate this podcast to the founders, the entrepreneurs, the intrapreneurs, the investors, corporate fighters, the change markers who over the years have given me their time, patience, and trust. 

We will together, demystify the world of corporate venturing for you.
