Independent workers
1M+
Belgium has a large base of independent workers who still handle invoicing with tools not built for them.
Investor / Partner overview
BillPilot BE — AI-powered invoicing built exclusively for Belgian freelancers
We're solving a real, underserved problem: French and Dutch-speaking independent workers in Belgium spend hours on invoicing admin every month, with tools built for SMEs, not for them.
French / Dutch split
40 / 60
Wallonia and Brussels skew French-speaking, while Flanders is primarily Dutch-speaking.

Billit, Teamleader, Yuki, and Accountable cover adjacent needs, but not this exact freelance-first gap.
Current traction
Early signals are still modest, but they are specific, manual, and commercially relevant.
This is not a dashboard story yet. It is a first proof layer showing live traffic, active outbound, and a paid founder offer already in market.

First 7 days
Early traffic is small but real, and it arrived before any broad launch or paid acquisition.
3 outreach waves sent
37 personalized emails to Belgian freelancers
The current motion is manual by design: targeted outreach, direct conversations, and founder-led learning.
Founder beta: 20 slots at €14.90/month
Paid validation over vanity signups
The offer is intentionally narrow so traction can be measured through qualified replies and real willingness to pay.
The problem
Belgian freelancers remain stuck between spreadsheet habits and SME-grade software.
The market is meaningful, multilingual, and operationally underserved. The core friction is not whether invoicing exists, but whether it is adapted to solo operators in Belgium.
Belgium counts more than one million independent workers. Roughly 40% are French-speaking, mainly in Wallonia and Brussels, while around 60% are Dutch-speaking and concentrated in Flanders.
Existing tools such as Billit, Teamleader, Yuki, and Accountable address adjacent needs, but they are generally built for SMEs, accountants, or broader self-employed administration, not a narrow freelance invoicing workflow.
The missing combination is clear: AI-native execution, French and Dutch-first product thinking, Belgian compliance depth, and a freelance-specific user experience.
The solution
BillPilot BE is an AI-first invoicing tool designed only for Belgian independent workers.
The product focus is deliberately narrow: remove repetitive invoicing administration for solo operators while keeping Belgian VAT and Peppol requirements in scope from day one.

Differentiation
The product sits in a clear gap between invoicing tools, accountant software, and generic self-employed admin.
The comparison is intentionally practical: product posture, localization depth, UX focus, compliance readiness, and price for a freelancer.

Go-to-market
The launch strategy starts manually, proves willingness to pay, then expands by language and automation.
The motion is not built around vanity signups. It is built around direct onboarding, pricing validation, and a strong fit with Belgian freelancer acquisition channels.
Phase 1 (live)
French landing page, founder beta, manual onboarding
The current motion focuses on a French landing page, 20 founder slots, and hands-on onboarding directly with the founder.
Phase 2 (Q3 2025)
Dutch version launch and Flanders market entry
Expand the product and positioning to Dutch-speaking freelancers, then open a dedicated Flanders acquisition layer.
Phase 3 (Q4 2025)
Self-serve product, automation, and scaling
Reduce founder-heavy onboarding, improve automation, and turn the motion into a repeatable acquisition and conversion engine.
Founder beta
The current offer is a small paid cohort designed to validate demand with real customers.
The goal is simple: confirm pricing, collect product feedback, and build the first 20 paying users through founder-led onboarding.
“We're not chasing email signups. We're proving real demand with real payments.”
