Getting satisfaction in what you’re doing day to day is the most important thing to keep you going.
Gunther Ghysels founded Get Driven just after finishing school while spending most of his youth as a professional motorcross rider. Get Driven is a platform where trained drivers drive your car; convert travel time into work time, enjoy a safe night out or have a team of drivers picking up your carfleet for maintenance. All of this on a fully automated platform/app.
Get Driven was Deloitte’s 9th fastest growing tech company in 2019 and in the same year Ghysels won “young entrepreneur of Flanders”.
Today Get Driven employs over 1500 drivers in Belgium, just opened a Munich office and is looking to expand to Netherlands. After being founded solo, Get Driven attracted a few captains of industry in its capital with the names of Steven Buysse (CVC), Steve Rousseau (House of Talents), Arne Vandendriessche (Signpost) and Helena Brutsaert (CID Lines).
