Ten years, seventeen signals.
Before supporting other people’s projects, I built my own. With a start-up at the crossroads of culture and Web3, I went from French Tech Tremplin to the French State’s i-Nov France 2030 competition, by way of a fundraising round, and took it from Lyon to Dubai, from Tokyo to Canada. In April 2026, to explore a new world and learn even more from it, I co-led a municipal campaign to victory. I now also advise on political communication and place-marketing concepts.
