About

BLT: Business Lunch Talk (English below)
Waar sandwiches en startupverhalen samenkomen. Echte founders, echte verhalen en misschien wel jouw eerste vonk om te starten.

Het is een lunch. Het is een verhaal. En misschien verandert het wel hoe jij naar ondernemen kijkt.

De BLT is een lunchsessie van één uur waarin ondernemers hun echte verhaal delen: over de keuzes, de misstappen en de lessen die je alleen leert door het zelf te doen.

It’s a sandwich. It’s a story. It might reroute your whole lunch break.
BLT is a one-hour midday sit-down where founders into their real stories of starting up: the pivots, the pitfalls, and the lessons you only learn the hard way.

Meet the speaker
Teun van de Keuken is a Dutch journalist, TV presenter, and founder. He started out as an investigative reporter, digging into shady practices behind everyday products, until one story stuck: child slavery in the chocolate industry. Instead of just reporting on it, he decided to fix it himself. That's how Tony's Chocolonely was born, now one of Europe's biggest social-impact brands. Proof you don't need a business plan to start, just a problem you refuse to ignore.
