More about GrowthDistrict
GrowthDistrict is more than a desk and Wi-Fi — it’s a 12-month launchpad designed to help ambitious founders focus, scale, and prove their place in the start-up landscape. By bringing together a select group of companies inside our dedicated hubs, we create an environment where growth isn’t just encouraged, it’s expected. Here you’ll find everything you need to know about what GrowthDistrict offers, what we ask in return, and how this unique program sets the stage for your next phase of growth.
Forget building your company from the corner of your living room
The next generation of start-ups deserves more than a desk in the garage, more than late nights at the kitchen table. Because every great start-up begins with a spark - but to turn that spark into something real, founders need more than just an idea. They need space to work, structure to stay focused, and the right environment to grow.
That’s why we built GrowthDistrict
A 12-month launchpad for founders who are ready to take their business further. Each year, 20 start-ups are selected to join our Community — spread across four hubs, with five teams per location.
Every GrowthDistrict hub lives inside a MeetDistrict building
Which means you immediately tap into everything that makes these spaces unique: a vibrant community of professionals, state-of-the-art desk set-ups, seamless technology, inspiring design, and the kind of services that take distractions off your plate so you can fully focus on building your business.
Your GrowthDistrict hub has its own energy
Here, all selected start-ups are brought together in one dedicated SharedOffice. It’s the place where ambition feels raw, ideas move fast, and the vibe is unapologetically start-up. Think less polished corporate, more rock ’n roll momentum — a space that breathes the same rhythm as the founders inside it.
As a founder in GrowthDistrict...
You’ll have what you need to focus fully on building your company:
- Up to five dedicated desks in your hub
- Privatised MeetBoxen at hand when focus matters most
- Access to inspiring spaces like the BoardRoom (quarterly), the PitchArena (half-yearly), and the Auditorium with 50% off yearly*
- Plus the full perks of the MeetDistrict community, from vibrant common areas to an ever-expanding network
*The Auditorium is only available in Ghent, but every company enjoys the same yearly discount.
In return, we ask for commitment...
Because growth is a two-way street. That means:
- progress pitches every quarter, in front of a jury
- one post each quarter on LinkedIn or Meta to share your story
- a monthly self-check with our GrowthDistrict framework
- and above all: the drive to take your growth seriously
