In essence, Gomibo is at the forefront of redefining the synergy between supply chain dynamics and intelligent software solutions. This strategic positioning reflects their commitment to innovation and adaptability in an ever-changing technological landscape.

Scaleup Companies

Scaleup 1 - Elestor, Guido Dalessi

Guido Dalessi joined Elestor as CEO in May 2015, and is also one of the investors. He is a physics graduate (1986) who started his career in R&D of laser-based measuring equipment. Guido Dalessi has many years of startup experience, leading multiple companies to become global market- and technology-leaders in its field.

Elestor has introduced an innovative electricity storage technology for large scale stationary applications, based on the flow battery principle. With this, the electricity storage costs (also known as Levelized Cost of Storage) are reduced to an absolute minimum.  With a progressing dependency on intermittent energy sources (sun, wind), Long Duration Energy Storage (LDES) becomes increasingly important, if not decisive, for the energy transition to succeed. Elestor is named as one of the 10 most innovative companies in The Netherlands

Scaleup 2 - No Fairytales, Pieter Verspeek

​​​​​​​At No Fairytales we call ourselves the first food improver: our mission is to make food tasteful and a bit better. No Fairytales was founded in 2016 by Bernadette. During a commercial break, she saw a “food innovation” pass by: the pizza buger, two pizzas stuck together in the shape of a burger. She thought: ‘is that called food innovation?! I can do beter!’. So she started experimenting herself and not much later she came up with a world’s first: the vegetable tortilla, a tortilla made with 45% vegetables. All products are developed with our mission in mind: tastefull, and just that bit healthier.

No Fairytales is a scale-up and exists of a team of 12 enthusiastic employees, situated in Amsterdam. Since 2021 I work for No Fairytales and I am responsible for managing the supply chain. No Fairytales has outsourced all operational activities: production, warehousing, and distribution, thus an important part of my job is to ensure a smooth and professional cooperation with all of our partners.

I’m looking forward to see you on the 21 st November.
