Joris Van der Gucht is a Belgian technology entrepreneur, now the co-founder and CEO of Ravical. He previously co-founded Silverfin, where he helped scale the company into a leading European cloud accounting platform prior to its acquisition, one of Belgium’s most significant technology exits.
Earlier in his career, Joris worked at BDO Belgium and Handson & Partners, giving him first-hand exposure to the structural limitations of traditional professional services delivery. That experience, combined with building and scaling SaaS businesses, shapes his focus on infrastructure rather than tools - specifically, how advisory work can be delivered at scale without eroding trust or judgement.
Beyond Ravical, Joris is a Co-Founder of Wintercircus, a technology hub in Ghent, and an Entrepreneur in Residence at the Vlerick Entrepreneurship Academy, where he works with founders on scaling SaaS companies and building durable commercial organisations.
