Setting up shop in Romania: not really a self-evident move for a young tech company. And yet—one year after the fact—we couldn't be happier with our office there.

For 12 weeks Ruben, Sebastien, Viktor and Luïs joined forces with the Bringme team, located in the heart of Leuven.

Leuven's hot, there's no need to tell Leuven natives that. But how does the average inhabitant of Antwerp feel? Or someone who lives in Brussels? Or a Dutch person?

In part 1 we read how – through his fascinating journey – Jo Vandebergh got the inspiration of what would later become Bringme’s very foundation. Part 2 takes us 10 years back in time to the early days of what would later become Bringme and provides us with a thrilling glimpse of the vision behind the brand. A must-read for anyone who wants to understand Bringme.
