The values we live by got us to this point. And we are naturally, completely, and utterly Bundl.
Find out more about our purpose, method, culture, and habits in our ‘This is Bundl’ book.
2. And, thanks for wanting to know more
about Bundl.
We wrote this to give you a deep
sense of who we are- the purpose
that powers our actions and connects
us as colleagues and humans.
This is our story.
Nice to
meet you!

8. Resulting in acquisition
strategies of startups,
for a very high price.
The intention, and necessity, was clear–
corporations needed to find a way to remain
relevant. Rapidly rising startups offered a shortcut.
Unilever buys Dollar
Shave Club for $1B in
2016.
Walmart buys Jet.com
for $3B in 2016.

9. But corporates actually have the assets
to beat startups at their own game.
Resources, funding, access to customers, … these just hint to the
unfair advantage that’s exclusively theirs. It is, however, one that
needs reframing towards the startup mentality to find new growth.
10. It’s a matter of
combining the best
of both worlds.
Startups launch quickly, but have a hard
time scaling. Corporate projects have
the resources to scale, but miss the
startup execution speed. Corporate
venturing combines the best of both.

with our corporate venture expertise.
We bring the entrepreneurship and venture-
building skills to the corporate world.
12. This is where
we are on the
corporate
venturing
landscape.
We co-create, build, and grow the
businesses of tomorrow with leading
corporations and entrepreneurs.
Doing so, we help set up corporate
incubators and build a pipeline and
portfolio of new ventures.

13. We firmly believe
corporations are
in pole position
to create the
businesses of
tomorrow.
Our ethosSomehow people have come to believe that
corporations are too slow to innovate and that
entrepreneurship only lives among the few in a
garage. Forget that.
We leverage the unfair advantage of corporate
assets, to build new startup businesses at high
speed and with high impact. We do this by co-
creating a range of investable business ideas, with
a fierce dedication to tomorrow's customer.
We mix your corporate intrapreneurs with our
Bundl entrepreneurs in a proven methodology to
launch new businesses, with a focus on execution
speed and future growth in new markets and
offerings.
16. Blended teams of Bundl
entrepreneurs & corporate
intrapreneurs.
The co-created collaboration model has proven
successful on each innovation track we’ve
embarked upon. It’s complementary by nature–
stakeholder management on one side and
methodology ownership on the other.
17. A startup format,
outside of corporate
governance.
By operating outside of governance we’re able to
maintain momentum whilst keeping a crucial link to key
department stakeholders. At the same time, we stay in
close connection to the board to enable fast decisions.
This is how the corporate ventures we are involved with
get to market before competitors.

18. Leveraging corporate
assets to create unfair
advantage.
The greatest tool is the one corporates already
have. Our methodology gives these assets with
an entrepreneurial edge to deliver corporate
ventures that start 10 paces ahead.
19. Reduced time to
market with proven
playbooks.
We use tried-and-tested tools in the design phase through to
growing the venture, that help us reduce the time to market.
We’ve also developed many of our own canvases and tools
from over 200+ innovation tracks, which we share in an
open knowledge platform.
20. Fighting the 90% startup
fail rate, with data-driven
innovation.
Every action we make is rooted in data to lower the fail rate
of disruptive innovations.
We fail or pivot at a high pace throughout the process,
which is enabled by data gathered from online smoke tests,
surveys, and offline interviews.
21. Kickstarting
incognito, spinning
off or in later.
We intentionally develop the business incognito to
keep speed and avoid conflict with other departments
at an early stage.
This prevents the mother brand from being harmed in
concept testing. And, allows us to test the concept in a
pure state without the reputation of the mother brand
affecting new consumer validation.
23. Design.

building.
The entire process from Design through to Grow is facilitated in a close

37. Thanks to Didid dreams, small or large, near or far, are much easier to realize. With
Didid, users can plan, budget, and share their dreams. They can push their limits, where
their dreams become projects and unforgettable memories.
Bundl is the founding father of the idea, and we co-created this startup from from
scratch to successful MVP, where BNNPF took the lead in the launch afterwards.
A groundbreaking new way of banking.
At the international hackathon of BNP Paribas Fortis, Bundl presented the idea for an
app that would help people take their dreams off a shelf and finally work towards
fulfilling them. The concept was picked up by the bank and we developed it together
with Didid, a subsidiary startup of BNP Paribas Fortis.

The app that makes
your dreams come true!

41. The Park.
An unforgettable free-
roaming VR adventure for
friends and families.
In The Park you move freely through an immersive virtual reality, where everyday
rules don’t apply, but an unforgettable experience is guaranteed.
Bundl built The Park from the ground up with Telenet and 9.5 Magnitude
Ventures. That’s from post-it to concept, business case, development, hiring the
startup team, to a fully fledged corporate startup launch– in 1 year.
Accelerate growth in new markets.
We started from a blank canvas with Telenet, with only one clear focus question:
What is the future of entertainment and how can Telenet play a valuable role in
that field? Telenet co-developed this track with us, in parallel with other streams
diving into other markets.

"To do this well, we do not have to think like Telenet,
but as startups or entrepreneurs.”
John Porter, CEO at Telenet.
“One of the most important reasons why our collaboration was so
successful is that Bundl seamlessly connects with our culture in terms of
drive, flexibility and motivation, so we never considered them as
external consultants, but simply as a part of our team.”
Erik Van den Enden, CFO at Telenet.
“Telenet's approach was limited governance, limited amount of people
looking over your shoulder and what’s most important is the trust that
the company put into the people who were working on The Park.”
Kenny Henderyckx, Director Corporate Development at Telenet.

unique personalities and cultural
differences, which we celebrate joyously.

First and foremost.
Even if no one’s looking, we know.
We take ownership on every task, small or big.
We are responsible to exceed each other’s
expectation.
We find success when you do, and that will never
change.
[Ownership. Expectation. Responsibility.]

An assortment of humans.
Our family tree is a forest.

63. Our habits are the manifestation of our values.
It’s how we uniquely interact and behave whilst
