A few months back we had a meeting with venture capitalists from Belgium that went really well for us. They enjoyed our presentation and liked the direction that our product was heading at the time, when there was still so much potential. One of them, named Manuella, even sent us a Facebook inbox while we were presenting to wish us good luck in the future!
A few days later Manuella sent us email saying she was keen to work with us and wanted to somehow take the product to Belgium and get it into the university that she works at. She even wanted to send us two interns, in the new year, to help us expand and improve our business. We were also keen for this opportunity and were waiting for the Belgian academic year to start so that we could discuss things further and hopefully materialise all the talk.
The Belgian school year started two weeks ago and Manuella had two interns that were keen and ready to join us in February. But since we last spoke with her a lot has changed with the business. We had since decided to dissolve the company and therefore could not take the interns anymore. It was difficult to tell her this news but she understood. I just hope that the students can manage to find internships somewhere they will enjoy working at.
