About Christophe Morbee

Background

Christophe Morbee is based in Knokke-Heist, Belgium. He is CEO of besox, a Belgian payroll and HR services provider for SMEs. Crunchbase lists an earlier role as a business development manager at Sociaal Secretariaat van de Kust, and an education at Hogeschool West-Vlaanderen.

Press coverage describes besox as a company with about 110 employees and revenue heading toward EUR 15M. Another directory puts its client base at around 4,000 SMEs. He is also founder and general partner of NewSchool VC, a Belgian fund that backs early-stage B2B technology companies.

In an interview he said he had invested as an angel for years and decided to build a proper structure around it. He said he enjoys sharing what he knows about marketing, sales, HR and finance with founders.

Angel investing track record

Morbee invested as an angel for several years before launching NewSchool VC. In January 2023 he was named among the angels in Aikido Security's EUR 2M pre-seed round, alongside Syndicate One and several Showpad and OTA Insight founders. Crunchbase counts three personal investments for him, so its record is partial.

He put about 25% of NewSchool Fund I's capital in himself. Press reports say the fund closed at EUR 10M and has made 32 investments, with three more in the pipeline.

AI investments

In September 2026 Morbee, listed as a partner at NewSchool.vc, joined Spotable's seed round. The Lounge deals desk records it as $4.5M (EUR 4.0M). Spotable is a Ghent company building AI software that automates roofing, facade and industrial measurements for exterior contractors. Spotable says the money will go into the product and into expansion to France, Germany and the US.

His other disclosed investments are in B2B software more broadly rather than AI alone.

Investment focus

NewSchool VC invests in early-stage B2B technology companies that automate and modernize established European industries. Sources describe the focus as pre-seed and seed. Morbee says founders often lack someone who owns go-to-market, sales and storytelling, and that this is where he focuses alongside the capital. He also says there is still a lot of room to automate old industries.

The fund is Belgium-based, and Spotable, Husk and Aikido are all Belgian companies. No check size is published, so ask him directly rather than assume one.
