Hospital staffing shortages are a daily reality, and filling a gap often costs head nurses hours of administrative work. At Europa Ziekenhuizen, finding cover meant consulting 11 different systems, reports and Excel files.

Start it @KBC startup Innatify set out to change that. Their platform identifies which wards need reinforcement, matches available staff with the right skills, and presents a ranked shortlist in real time, while the final decision remains with the nurse manager. 🏥

The impact is significant: 2,450 fewer hours spent on administration each year, 4,400 additional hours of insight for forecasting and capacity planning, and a 90.5% hit rate within the top 10 suggested profiles.

Start it Fund, explained ✅

With Start it Fund, we’re taking the next step in supporting founders from our community. It’s a fund built around founders, not the other way around, designed to back the strongest startups at the moment they need it most, while the accelerator itself stays open and equity-free.

In this carousel, we walk you through who the fund is for, what selected startups receive, how and when we invest, and how it all ties back to our pay-it-forward DNA. 👉

Building a business is a marathon. Are you taking care of the runner? 🏃‍♂️🧠

On October 10th, it's World Mental Health Day. That is why we are highlighting a core principle at Start it @KBC: If a founder thrives, the business thrives.

Too often, growing a company comes at the cost of personal wellbeing. Rising workloads and wearing too many hats can quickly lead to exhaustion.

Here’s how we’re supporting our community:
✅ Partnering with BloomUp for fast, confidential mental health support
✅ Encouraging founders to block recovery time and turn off notifications after hours
✅ Creating a culture where sharing doubts builds trust

At Start it @KBC, we work with startups across every field imaginable. For our latest Team Day, we traded the office for a very real one. 🌱

We spent the day in the fields at on-kruid, an organic farm in Lievegem that grows herbs and turns them into teas and other natural drinks. Seeing first-hand how a startup from our 2024 cohort has grown was the perfect way to recharge as a team.

A big thank you to the @on_kruid.be team for opening up their farm to us, and to @compliments.of.nature.a for the delicious flavours that kept us going throughout the day!

Fueling female founders, driving a stronger ecosystem. 💡

Women remain underrepresented as founders and in access to funding, yet the ideas, talent and ambition are there. At Start it @KBC, we're committed to closing that gap by giving female entrepreneurs what they need to scale: expert coaching, a strong network, peer support and direct access to investors.

Through dedicated programs and partnerships, we support women-led startups at every stage, from validating a first idea to getting investment-ready. Because a more diverse tech ecosystem is a stronger one.

👉 Swipe through to discover how we're supporting female founders.

We know our startups are great at explaining what they do, but what happens when they're not allowed to use words? We're putting it to the test! ✏️

At this year's Love Tomorrow, we had them sketch out their startup's concept in under 20 seconds, on the back of a beer coaster.

Our last two participants exist out of Mille Mertens Polak from @speaksoon.app and Tim Dhondt from @Goodshift.co

One thing they have in common? They're masters at bringing (and keeping) people together. 👏

Check out how well they did here! by @startitkbc

𝐈𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐠𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞.

Not with a business plan, but with repairing bikes, welding bamboo and following a simple question:

"What if there was a better way?"

That curiosity eventually grew into Wondr, Bambooze and Powr.
