Outreach angles

-Opsomer co-founded Backbone in 2025 with two former Henchman colleagues after seeing how much of food-industry quality management still runs on Excel and email.
-He and his co-founders built the company to replace those spreadsheets with an AI operating system for food safety and compliance records.
-The 4 million euro pre-seed round, backed by Pitchdrive and a consortium of Belgian food families, will fund Backbone's push to reach 250 production sites by the end of 2028.
