Bart
CEO & Founder
Flamengos Startup Invest was born from a deep ambition. The name "Flamengos" is based on the historical bond between Flemish settlers and the village of Flamengos on Faial. "Startup" refers to our mission to elevate businesses and people in the circular economy to their fullest potential. "Invest" stands for honoring the soul of the Azores and investing in the future.
As the son of a tree nursery owner whose father was also a tree nursery owner, and grandson of the daughter of a sawmill family, Bart has a deeply rooted passion for wood, nature and sustainability. His personal company product-proof.com respects the four elements of nature: Fire (Flame-Proof), Earth (Horti-Proof), Water (Water-Proof) and Air (Air-Proof).
