I'm a founder from Flanders. Through SMOVECITY HOLDING, I build and own long-term ventures for how cities move and how we live in them, with the patience of an owner, not the horizon of an investor: SMOVE.CITY, the travel app that plans trips together; MERIDIAN, mobility intelligence for cities; Immodesk, property software for landlords and tenants; and the Belvedere Domain, our heritage estate on the Kemmelberg. The thread through all of it is the fifteen-minute city, places where how you move and how you live reinforce each other.
My first real venture came early: acquiring the Belvedere Domain on the summit of the Kemmelberg with my father, Noel Kindt. A heritage landmark scarred by both world wars, it became a decade of hands-on work in real estate, construction and conservation, and even put me in a courtroom defending what we had built.
A Bachelor and Master of Science in Business Administration at KU Leuven, plus an exchange at Hanyang University in Seoul, the school known for producing CEOs.
As one of the first team members of UberEats in Brussels, I helped launch multiple cities and saw up close how a global platform scales street by street.
I earned a Masters in Innovation & Entrepreneurship at Vlerick Business School, a programme that included a Silicon Valley disruption tour and a start-up accelerator.
I founded Freel at the forefront of the micromobility revolution, starting with mechanical kick scooters and evolving to connected ones. My first company, and a crash course in hardware, operations and regulation.
I founded SMOVE.CITY starting with electric bikeshare and city analytics. It has since grown into a travel app that plans trips end to end, from a group chat to a day-by-day itinerary, with an AI travel companion.
I host The Early Days of Micromobility Podcast, long-form conversations with the people shaping how cities move. Guests have included Dott co-founder Maxim Romain, CoMotion founder John Rossant and Brussels mobility minister Elke van Den Brandt.
With MERIDIAN by SMOVECITY, I give cities and public authorities their complete mobility picture, the data layer beneath how a city moves and plans.
With Immodesk, I turn a decade of hands-on real-estate experience into AI-assisted property software for landlords, with a direct channel for their tenants.
The travel app for planning trips together. Flights, trains, buses, stays, places and events in one place, with an AI travel companion and a group-chat planner that turns a chat into a day-by-day itinerary.

Away from the ventures you'll find me on a surfboard, in a book, at a match or chasing new music. The same curiosity that drives the companies drives everything else.
Three books I keep coming back to:
