Entrepreneur gets n*ked: Denis Van Weynbergh shares his Vendée Globe journey

Denis Van Weynbergh is a Belgian entrepreneur and professional sailor whose story perfectly captures the spirit of entrepreneurship. Just like building a startup, preparing for and competing in solo offshore races demands vision, resilience, and the courage to face the unknown. From the Mini Transat to the Transat Jacques Vabre, Denis has sailed over 80,000 nautical miles — navigating storms, setbacks, and moments of breakthrough, much like the ups and downs every entrepreneur knows well.

Now, Denis has taken on the Vendée Globe — the “Everest of the seas,” a solo nonstop round-the-world race that pushes limits and tests every ounce of perseverance. His journey is a powerful metaphor for entrepreneurship: charting your own course, weathering challenges alone, and staying committed to the mission no matter what.

He will share his story with us, inspiring us with the lessons learned along the way.

Join us for an inspiring conversation about embracing risk, staying persistent, and navigating uncharted waters — led by our CEO Alexandre Ponchon.
