A PhD graduate of the Sloan School of Management at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Jean-Jacques Degroof has more than 20 years of experience in research and education. In addition to mentoring technology entrepreneurs, Jean-Jacques Degroof supports the Pulse Foundation, a nonprofit organization committed to encouraging entrepreneurship in Belgium.
Created with the mission of mentoring young technology entrepreneurs to help them refine and improve their business projects, the Pulse Foundation has expanded to encompass the nonprofit Sokwadraat (SO2). Through individual coaching services, SO2 works with high-tech startups spun-off from academia to refine their business concept, create business and financial plans, and seek capital. SO2 consists of a team of seven professionals who believe firmly that Belgium is full of young entrepreneurs with bright ideas. Offering guidance informed by experience, the group aims to help the country produce more innovative and successful high-tech startups. Since the organization’s establishment in 2005, SO2 has coached hundreds of teams and assisted in the creation of over 170 new tech firms.
