"In Luxembourg early stage investment is not as mature as it is in the UK or in Belgium, overall, I would say we are up and coming".

Early stage investing in Luxembourg today:

  • Not as mature as in UK or belgium – this has to do with tax regulation as well
  • We don’t have that many cashed-out entrepreneurs
  • The startup ecosystem is building itself up
  • We are up and coming

My goals in Luxembourg

  • Wants to make sure that more people have opportunities to invest
  • Implementing best practices learned from other ESIL countries
