Birgit Everaert invites founders of startups and scale-ups for a comfy chat in the startup sofa. Johannes Vermeire is co-founder of POM, a platform that promises “Peace Of Mind” when paying invoices.
Johannes started POM 5 years ago, together with his co-founder Tom Totté. POM has grown over the years thanks to a healthy funding mix of business angels, subsidies, friends, family & fools.
Combining a B2B and B2C strategy, Johannes strives to innovate financial services and focuses on how to make payments easy for both sender and percipient. A customer centric focus is key!
Johannes also talks about how POM coped with bad press. What to do if a reporter catches you off guard with a bad press release about your business? “Stay resilient, there’s always a way out and new opportunities ahead.”, he says.
Today, POM is focused on scaling their business internationally.
Do you need help to find the right funding mix? Or do you plan to scale internationally, just like Johannes? The Factory helps you achieve your goals!
