Boris Bogaert is a seed investor at Rydoo in Antwerp focused on Software and SaaS. Startup Enabler & Angel Investor. In 2011 I co-founded Cardwise that later became Xpenditure NV an innovative product for managing expenses.

Reinvested partly in the newventure with Sodexo & iAlbatros. We launched this new corp-up venture in June 2018 under the name of RYDOO and I'm acting COO and board member.. Next to that I'm also investing in promising early stage startups with Tumbzup bvba.In the early 90ies I've been involved in commercialisation of the first Internet solutions. My passion has always been making new innovative products marketable towards B2B markets. I've pioneered in the internet sector and have been involved in the launch of Europe's first Internet service providers PING (Eunet) and Yucom (JV BT & ING), now both part of Belgacom (BELG:BB).Later, I became Chief Commercial Officer at SpaceChecker and after the acquisition by Punch Telematix, I became Country Manager.

In 2007, I joined Massive Media (publishers of Netlog & TWOO), a leading European on-line community that has recently been acquired by IACI (NASDAQ:IACI). As Director of Business Development, I successfully set-up the complete business development strategy and team from scratch.
