Hello, I'm Jolien and I'm the Coordinator at DO! I make sure that DO! can support students and researchers in the most optimal circumstances and strengthen the ties with the different ecosystems. In addition, I'm somewhat a jack-of-all-trades, too. I have a background in computer sciences and started out as a student-entrepreneur myself, so ask away about any of my experiences or expertise. See you at The Foundry!

Hey you!
I'm Tom Van Damme, entrepreneur for as long as I can remember, art lover and musician but first and foremost: coach, mentor, motivator and networker at DO! Ghent University. I have the honour to be able to share my experiences with motivated students and researchers who are taking their first and further steps towards entrepreneurship.

When booking a coaching expect a no-nonsense, hands-on, to the point, pragmatic and stimulating approach in which we try to broaden your view at your own pace,  in order for you to take new steps. I also do coachings for The Company (by Gentrepreneur). See you soon!

Hello, I'm Gerlinde and take care of anything communications or events related for DO! You'll also find me behind my Wacom drawing tablet creating new graphics or DO! images. Throughout the years I've also worked on my own self-employed graphic projects.

So do you have any specific plans to turn your dream into a startup and are left with questions regarding branding or communications/marketing? Come talk to me in our online Discord community or look for in the green jungle that is The Foundry.

Hey!
I'm Lobke and I'm Educational Instructor at DO! Before I joined the team I worked at Gentrepreneur. There I planned quite some events and worked on entrepreneurial projects to support students in their journey towards entrepreneurship. It is my professional mission to make education at the university as entrepreneurial as possible to ensure that in the future each student has an entrepreneurial experience.

My personal mission in life is to be a sunbeam for those who need it. So in need of a great share of enthusiasm? I'm here for you! I also welcome any tips or remarks you might have to make your educational offer more entrepreneurial.

G’day, mate! I'm Victoria, liaison between DO! and Gentrepreneur. In addition to being the glue between these 2 great organisations, I'm also the Event Manager of Gentrepreneur. I was a student-entrepreneur myself and started 'Captain Creative'. I was self employed for 2 years. Now I'm still a Captain, but as a secondary occupation. What is it that I do exactly? You can come to me if you need visuals (graphic design), content creation (from LinkedIn over Instagram and TikTok) & consultancy for social media and content marketing.

I also like to surf (not on the internet – but real waves). And I'm a passionate traveller. I've lived in California, Illinois, Amsterdam and Nicaragua. ¡Dale pues!
