Better late than never, right?
All through June, every second person I met asked, “Daniil, why don’t you post on LinkedIn?”
The marketing folks even offered to ghost-write for me.
Truth is, I keep thinking, “Just one more milestone and then I’ll share everything with the world.”
Spoiler: there’s always one more milestone.
So—time for a long-overdue gratitude post. June was a whirlwind of new people, big wins, and fresh inspiration.
VivaTech: what a ride!
The conference itself was electric—so many brilliant, talented minds under one roof.
But the real highlight? Team Luxembourg. Our pavilion was the place to be, full stop.
Special thanks to Bastien Berg and the whole crew for building the true LCI Family (or Gang, whichever vibe you prefer). Whenever I spot one of you across the hall, I can’t help but smile. There isn’t another incubator in Luxembourg turning out this many national champions. 🔥
I also had the privilege of chatting with Lex Delles, Minister of the Economy, and Fernand Ernster, President of the Chamber of Commerce. Fingers crossed that our conversation sparks new opportunities to create even more value for Luxembourg. Philippe Linster, CFA i still own you few slides 🙃
And of course—merci, Startup Luxembourg, for having our backs at every step.
Five years in Luxembourg—and the talent keeps coming
My always-energised friend Marco Houwen introduced me to the powerhouse of ideas Jerome Bloch, whose drive and vision pushed me to crank the momentum up another notch. We had a fantastic exchange at KPMG Luxembourg Plage (thank you, David Capocci and Chambourdon Stanislas, for the invite), and I’m sure this is just the first of many touchpoints between us.
This country never ceases to surprise me. The best is still ahead.
💡If we crossed paths in June and I didn’t mention you here, know that I’m grateful. Let’s keep building, innovating, and making Grand Duchy punch way above its weight.
