Gunther Ghysels

Gunther Ghysels is a Belgian entrepreneur and the founder of TinRate, a consulting platform that connects businesses with expert advisors. He is multilingual, speaking English, French, and Dutch, which reflects his international business approach and Belgian background.

Before entering the business world, Ghysels was a professional motocross rider in his youth, demonstrating an early aptitude for competitive performance and risk-taking that would later translate into his entrepreneurial ventures.

Immediately following his university studies, Ghysels founded Get Driven, a private driver platform that he successfully bootstrapped without external funding. Under his leadership, the platform grew to serve 50,000 users and maintain a network of over 2,000 active drivers annually. This achievement showcased his ability to scale a service-based business and build sustainable marketplace dynamics.

Following the success of Get Driven, Ghysels launched TinRate, a platform designed to facilitate expert consulting services. As the founder of TinRate, he leverages his experience in platform development, user acquisition, and community building to create value for both consultants and clients seeking specialized expertise.

His expertise spans startup development and go-to-market strategies, drawing from his experience launching and scaling multiple ventures. He specializes in marketing and branding initiatives, having successfully built brand recognition for his platforms. Additionally, he provides guidance on community building, having developed and maintained large user bases and driver networks. His extensive network also enables him to facilitate strategic connections between entrepreneurs and industry professionals.

Gunther Ghysels was previously the founder of Get Driven, a successful chauffeur platform he started in 2016 as a school graduate. He was awarded Young West Flemish Entrepreneur of the Year. He studied at Université des Sciences et Technologies de Lille and is based in Kortrijk, Belgium.
