Kollaborate
About Kollaborate

Local collaborations, fairly arranged.

Working with influencers often goes wrong. Numbers get inflated, the payment never arrives, or the promised content is only half delivered. Kollaborate flips that around: local businesses and creators who find each other, with clear agreements and no surprises.

Our mission

A local entrepreneur, anywhere in Belgium, should quickly find the right creator. A creator should be paid on time and fairly. And both sides should be certain that everything runs correctly between them.

Values

What we stand for. And what we refuse.

Everything is set in advance

No "do it for the exposure", no hidden costs. Before you start, everyone knows exactly what they get and what they give.

Everyone gets checked

Every business and every creator is verified before they take part. Businesses through their KBO number, creators through their real Instagram or TikTok. You always know who you are working with.

Built for the Belgian market

Language, VAT and legislation are right from the start. No foreign platform pretending to be local.

Roadmap

From idea to platform.

2025

The idea

From our own agency, we see how local businesses struggle with influencers. Too expensive, too impersonal, too little local feel. It can be done better.

Q1 2026

Market research

We talk to businesses and creators to understand what they really need and where things go wrong today.

Q2 2026

The platform

The app is live. Businesses are checked through their KBO number, creators through their real Instagram or TikTok.

Q3 2026

Launch

We have been live since 15 July 2026 in Antwerp with our first businesses and creators. Then we expand step by step across all of Belgium.

Founder · Creative Hero · Antwerp

"Since 2022 I have been running Creative Hero, a digital agency in the centre of Antwerp. We do branding, web design and marketing for local Belgian brands. Clients such as AB InBev, Carré, The Villa, Mayfair, Soho, Jin Bian House, Mellière, Bonbon, Paesano, Brusketta and Amnesia."

"What kept bothering me: how poorly the influencer side worked. Too expensive, too impersonal, too little local feel. The big platforms are built for large companies with large budgets, not for the restaurant, the hair salon or the webshop around the corner. That is why Kollaborate."

"We build the platform the way a local entrepreneur would want it themselves: fast, fair, with creators from the neighbourhood and without any hassle."
