I’m Nicolas Finet, a Belgian entrepreneur, co-founder of Sortlist and its CEO since June 2025. Since 2014, I’ve been working on a simple question: how do you help a business meet the right people to grow?
At first, that meant finding the right agency. Today, it also means spotting relevant business opportunities and starting a useful conversation at the right time. That’s the thread connecting my work at Sortlist and Overloop.
I spend my days building products, working with our teams and thinking about B2B growth. I share what I learn about entrepreneurship, management and AI, including the attempts that didn’t work. Those tend to make the more useful conversations.
Sortlist
CEO since June 2025 · Co-founder since 2014

Find the episodeLinkedIn’s decision to remove my personal profile was connected to my role at Overloop. I’ve given that profile a home of its own, so the people I’ve met there, and anyone looking me up for the first time, can find my work, my experience and a way to get in touch.
The idea is familiar: a photo, a little background and something useful to talk about. This version just comes without a connection request. Or a notification about someone else’s work anniversary.
If we were connected: good to see you again.
If we haven’t met: welcome. The introduction starts here.

No. This is Nicolas Finet’s personal website. It uses familiar professional-profile conventions, but it is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by LinkedIn.
For partnerships, B2B growth conversations, podcast invitations or speaking opportunities, email me directly. A little context about what you have in mind is a great place to start.
