Founder's talks - Bootstrapping in Belgium with Tally's founders
Hello Belgium’s builders and tech enthusiasts! 🇧🇪✨
About the Event
For our 4th edition in Belgium, we’re thrilled to bring you an exclusive fireside chat with the brilliant co-founders of Ghent’s own Tally, Marie and Filip.
Tally was born from a simple yet powerful realization: form builders needed a serious upgrade. They were either too restrictive or too expensive.
So, Marie and Filip set out to create a tool that truly works for users. Their passion and persistence have paid off—Tally has grown from €0 to +€2M in ARR without external funding with a team of 5. Their story is a masterclass in entrepreneurial grit, relentless execution, and reckless prioritisation 🚀💪
