Ramón was introduced to the Belgian Internet startup network by the BetaGroup, where he fell under the spell of the thriving community of developers, marketeers, entrepreneurs and other breeds of the World Wide Web. Since then he has been an active promoter of the Webmission and he has become a BetaGroup adviser.

Gilbert West
Gilbert started his professional life as a conference organiser but always had a strong leaning towards tech. He has been a web developer since 1999 but has given it all up to start a new company, Search Cog, developing tools for website owners that give real insights from their Google analytics data.
He was so impressed with the energy and enthusiasm that came out of the first 1st Brussels Startup Weekend that he was more than happy to join the organizing team for the 2nd edition. He’s also one half of the new podcast team Tech Brew which covers the startup scene in Belgium.
