First Moves

First Moves is a podcast hosted by Sebastian Nyrup, founder of Unshackled, and Stijn Willemse, founder of DIS-ORDER and AURORI. Our aim is to enrich the entrepreneurial ecosystem, starting in the Maastricht region. Through interviews with student entrepreneurs, veteran business leaders, researchers from Maastricht University, and representatives of key local organizations (such as LIOF and Brightlands Campuses), we aim to highlight the unique perspectives that Maastricht offers. We delve into the lessons learned in the process of starting a company, offering insights into how successful entrepreneurs have grown their businesses and exploring the reasons some decide to close theirs. Our goal is to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of what it takes to own a company, helping you determine your first move in your career.
