    BE-CYBER 2026 - The United Shield - The 12 Labours of a Cyber Start-Up - Labour 4

    Labour 4 - First Believers: Trust Before ReputationGreat ideas are important. But before customers, investors or the market believe in your vision, someone must take the very first leap of faith.  In Episode 4, Tommy Gontie (Proximus) speaks with Lars Veelaert, CEO & Co-founder of XFA, and Mustapha Annouh, CEO & Co-founder of Shield AI, about the people who believed in them before they had a track record. How do you build trust when you have no reputation? Who were the first customers, partners and ecosystem players willing to take a chance on a young cyber start-up? And why is credibility often more valuable than funding in the early stages of the journey?   From their first supporters to their first public appearances, Lars and Mustapha share how trust is earned long before success is visible. Because every start-up begins with an idea—but it grows because others choose to believe in it.   🎧 Listen now and discover why trust comes before reputation.

    Labour 3: First Build: The MVP Without Trying to Build the Universe Every founder has a vision. The challenge is turning it into something real—without trying to build the entire universe on day one.  In Episode 3, Tommy Gontie (Proximus) talks with Lars Veelaert, CEO & Co-founder of XFA, and Mustapha Annouh, CEO & Co-founder of Shield AI, about the art of building a Minimum Viable Product (MVP): the smallest version of a solution that proves the idea works in the real world. What should you build first? What should you leave out? And how do you balance innovation, speed and credibility in cybersecurity?  From difficult feature decisions to lessons learned from early testing, Lars and Mustapha share how founders can stay focused on solving a real problem rather than getting lost in endless possibilities.  🎧 Listen now and discover why successful start-ups don't start by building everything—they start by building what matters most.

From challenging assumptions and refining ideas to learning from customers and confronting unexpected realities, this is where vision meets validation.   Discover why successful start-ups don't just build products—they learn, adapt and evolve. Because in entrepreneurship, reality isn't the enemy; it's the guide.   🎧 Listen now and discover how great ideas survive their first encounter with the real world.
