Scaling with purpose: beyond the exit

​How CluePoints prepared for growth and attracted investors by design, not by chance. 

​💡 What if the real challenge wasn’t the exit… but what comes next? 

Something is happening in Walloon Brabant. Quietly but steadily, local companies are stepping up to a new level. 

​The POD is launching a new series of gatherings for CEOs who want to scale without compromising who they are. 

The first stop? A deep dive into the story of Cluepoints, one of the region’s most inspiring scale-ups. 

​In 2024, CluePoints was acquired by the EQT fund, in what is considered the biggest M&A deal in Wallonia last year, with an estimated valuation of over €500 million. 

​But here’s what few people know: 
👉 The deal happened when CluePoints was only in the early days of its potential growth. 
👉 The exit was not the goal, but simply a step along the way. 
👉 Investors came knocking, not because CluePoints was looking to sell, but because it was built for growth. 

​CluePoints is also about: 
📈 10 new team members joining the company each month 
🤝 Teams more engaged than ever 
🌍 A British CEO, Andy Cooper, who brought a clear vision, built (and rebuilt) trust when needed, and led the company through the “after”,  with purpose 

​There’s no magic formula. But there is a strategy: 
✅ Prepare for growth, truly 
✅ Build culture, sustainably 
✅ Become a company that attracts, talent, customers, and capital 

​🎤 On Tuesday May 13th we’ll welcome around 20 CEOs in Louvain-la-Neuve for an open conversation with Andy Cooper (moderated by Éric Delacroix, CEO of Eura Nova), followed by a drink and informal exchanges. 

​This will be the first in a series of events designed to spotlight growth journeys that deserve to be told. 

​Want to join us? Seats are limited, so make sure to request your invitation now ;)

The event will take place in English!
