Emilio Van Der Linden

Emilio Van Der Linden is the co-founder of Rebin, a Belgian Internet of Things (IoT) and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) startup that he established as a student entrepreneur. Based in Belgium, Van Der Linden is fluent in both English and Dutch, positioning him well for international business operations across European and global markets.

Van Der Linden built Rebin from the ground up without traditional venture capital backing or financial safety nets, demonstrating a bootstrap approach to startup development. His experience as a student entrepreneur who successfully launched and scaled a technology company provides him with unique insights into the challenges faced by early-stage founders operating with limited resources.

Van Der Linden has developed particular expertise in several key areas of startup operations and growth. He specializes in securing non-dilutive funding through grants and subsidies, allowing entrepreneurs to access capital without surrendering equity stakes in their companies. This approach has become increasingly valuable for startups seeking to maintain control while accessing necessary growth capital.

His experience extends to complex business-to-business (B2B) sales, particularly in selling technology solutions to government entities and enterprise clients. These sectors often require specialized approaches due to their unique procurement processes, regulatory requirements, and decision-making structures.

Through his work with Rebin, Van Der Linden has gained substantial experience in international market expansion, helping companies navigate the complexities of entering new geographical markets. His bilingual capabilities and European base provide valuable insights into cross-border business development strategies.

Van Der Linden offers consulting expertise to entrepreneurs and business leaders across several domains, including startup formation and early-stage development, non-dilutive funding strategies, complex B2B sales processes, international expansion planning, and strategic business storytelling. His approach emphasizes practical, experience-based guidance drawn from his hands-on experience building and scaling Rebin in the competitive IoT and SaaS marketplace.

Emilio Van Der Linden won the public prize at Gentrepreneur Student-entrepreneur on May 9, 2023. He co-founded Rebin with Kyanu Delrue and Simon De Geyter. The company won the Startup Programme 'Expedition DO!' 2023 at UGent and works with waste companies and intercommunals for textile and glass containers.
