December 3, '24: From friendship to global brand: the fascinating journey of Edgard & Cooper - from early beginnings to international success story in premium pet food

On Tuesday, Dec. 3, we were pleased to welcome a diverse audience of entrepreneurs, bankers, M&A professionals and corporate finance experts at our BCFA event.

The evening featured an inspiring presentation by Koen Bostoen, co-founder of Edgard & Cooper.

Koen took us through the story of his venture, sharing how a close friendship and a bold vision led to the creation of this premium pet food brand.

He candidly shared the ups and downs of entrepreneurial life, including the challenges of growth, finding the right investors, and building an international consumer brand.

His insights and experiences offered attendees valuable lessons and inspiration for their own ventures.

We would like to thank Pieter Van den Broeck - partner at Monard Law - for his contribution to the event.

In addition, we would like to sincerely thank the Monard-Law team for their hospitality and the wonderful reception at their offices in Antwerp.

It was an educational evening and a great opportunity to learn from an inspiring entrepreneur.
