About the Founder

Catherine Schmit

Cofounder

After more than ten years of experience in the field of marketing, after obtaining my master's degree in marketing communication at ICHECS, I decided to continue my studies by completing an MBA at the VUB. It was during this period that the idea of creating Hapiklan was born. Initially, while I was in the process of management, the business plan was simply to check if my immediate entourage was having difficulty having newborns. Since I'm in an age range where a lot of my friends have kids and I'm seeing the impact on their relationship and themselves, the question I was trying to solve was whether this was something that was only happening in my circle of friends or if it was having a more global impact.

That's how I decided to start my business. We started by testing the prototype on the market, then we were lucky enough to be incubated by KBC, the largest incubator in Belgium. I consider consistency and perseverance to be key elements of my success in the initial phase. Networking also played a key role, as knowing how to involve the right people is key to taking the next steps.
