I started my first venture fresh out of high school, back when Internet access came in the mail, and I haven't stopped since.

Originally from France, I moved to Australia while finishing a Masters of IT and jumped straight into Sydney's startup scene. In 2008 I joined Pollenizer in its earliest days.

Over the next five years our team built Australia's first and biggest web incubator, helping launch 100+ startups and co-founding ~30 businesses. We had plenty of failures (and learned a lot), codified what became the "Startup Science," and even wrote a book to share it. We also had wins: one venture sold to Yahoo!7 for AU$40M, and several others became profitable companies.

In 2013 I took a breather in the south of France and restored a 200-year-old house. In 2015 I joined Evergiving (a Pollenizer alumni) as Product Manager / Designer to lead a platform, brand and design refresh.

At the end of 2016 I moved back to Sydney to coach startups. A little later my wife and I relocated to Perth, where I joined RAC to incubate new ventures within its innovation arm. That's where I created Heyscape, off-grid tiny-cabin stays across exclusive Western Australian locations. I grew it from idea to profitability in four years, reaching 25 cabins across 7 sites. Watch the brand story to see the cabins, the locations, and me wearing a buttoned-up shirt (rare!).

After four years at Heyscape it was time for a new challenge, and along the way my wife and I launched two little "startups" at home (kids!). These days I'm doing what I love most: building a small portfolio of software products, solo. A mix of consumer apps and tools for developers. I also contract with established businesses to roll out AI where it counts, most recently as AI Tech Lead at Respondent.io, taking their supply-side platform from zero to a production back-office, autonomous AI agent included, in under three months.

Early 2027 we're moving to Toulouse. After nearly two decades in Australia I'm bringing the founder-engineer toolkit home to France, and looking for a lead product or engineering role where a hands-on, AI-first way of building can help a team move faster.
