🥂Happy New Year from the Xablu team! ✨ We hope you kicked off 2025 in great spirits and with plenty of inspiration (and maybe a little too much "oliebollen"). Over here at #Xablu, we’re ringing in the New Year with exciting news: we’re evolving into a #VentureStudio. Think of it as a next-level ecosystem where new ideas can flourish under one roof, fueled by learnings from the Draghi Reports, our international experiences, and years of hands-on software product management and team building experience for our global client base. We’ve always believed in solid processes to turn business goals into scalable IT products🚀, we’ve always believed in culture that stands strong 💪through any storm, and we definitely believe Europe is capable to lead into an interoperable, AI-driven future. We’re also convinced that innovation soars when founders aren’t shackled by traditional funding models. By becoming a Venture Studio, we offer shared talent, cross-functional teams, and the best of our experience in a single environment. The #Draghi Reports call for bold investments in research and scaling, and we experience that same drive in focussing on funding and mentoring in all our recent conversations. Our own journey with WeCross BV (selective disclosure & decentralized identity) showed us how vital it is to have the right operational and cultural foundations from day one. 🛣️ So here’s our 2025Q1 roadmap: we plan to launch three more ventures, each benefiting from our shared resources and agile approach, diving into new HR, Cloud, and Real World Assets opportunities. It’s a big leap, but if the holiday season reminded us of anything, it’s that new beginnings are worth celebrating. We’re also taking Europe’s tech scene head-on: the #Draghi Reports urge a fast scale-up of #interoperable solutions, and we want to champion the EU Digital Building Blocks that can reshape global markets. From offering funding in a flexible way to implementing best-of-breed Software Product Management and leveraging HR skills from day one, we’re ready to spark the next wave of Digital Innovation. 🤝 If you share our excitement for 2025, if you’re tired of outdated funding structures, if you think culture is the backbone of any great product, let’s chat. Maybe you’re a startup founder looking for a supportive environment, an investor seeking real innovation instead of a quick exit with a set timeline, or just someone who’s curious about our approach. We’d love to hear from you. 📞 Let’s brainstorm: Book a call at https://xab.lu/call_henk 💵 Invest or collaborate: Check out WeCross, our first launched venture, right here: https://lnkd.in/ewqpc2xk ✨ Here’s to a New Year brimming with fresh ideas, bold moves, and the unshakable belief that Europe can lead the global software scene. Let’s do this together. #VentureStudio #InteroperableEurope #ShareFunding #Draghi #Xablu
