There is nothing more complicated than innovation. But nothing could be more exciting.

Build. Improve. Fail. Understand. Listen To learn. And try again. Then let it be known. And finally find the development path that will change everything.

It's what has motivated me since I started my first business. And now in addition, helping other organizations do it.

In a nutshell: explore. The most beautiful job in the world.

Elocance startup

Ircam Amplify

2019 - Ongoing

Elocance is a mobile app that works like an “expresser”: it allows you to read with your ears everything you used to read with your eyes. Work documents, web articles, 15-page emails: all you need to do is load them into the app with a single click and you can immediately go for a run while listening to them. It's your phone that's reading to you!

Chez eloaudio - une entreprise du portefeuille Techstars - nous pensons que chacun d'entre nous a un potentiel illimité. C'est pourquoi nous avons créé une application mobile qui permet à chaque utilisateur de stocker ses contenus favoris, de les classer en playlists, et de les écouter ensuite dès qu'il a 5 min: en faisant un footing, en préparant le dîner, etc. Histoire de ne jamais cesser d'apprendre.
