Talks · Boards · Pre-seed & seed

AI, applied up to everything.

I build with AI every day, and I talk about what actually works. I sit on boards that want to move faster. I back small, bold teams at their first cheque, in any field.

Talks

Talks from the field, not from slides

Every talk comes from things I have shipped. Live demos, real numbers, and the failures too. In French or English.

Keynote · 45 min

AI applied to anything

How to find the 20% of a business where AI changes the economics, and how to ship it in weeks, not quarters.

Keynote · 30 min

The 5-person company

Small teams with agents now ship what took 50 people. What that does to hiring, org design and funding.

Board session · 90 min

AI for boards

The questions a board should ask about AI: risk, data, spend, and how to tell a real roadmap from a demo.

Workshop · half day

Agents in your operations

Hands-on: map one process, build a working agent on it with your team, and measure it before lunch.

Fireside · 40 min

Selling a startup in the AI era

What buyers look at now, how engineering productivity shows up in due diligence, and what I would do again.

Masterclass · 2 h

Compliance meets AI

E-invoicing, tax and regulated workflows. Where automation is safe, where it is not, and how to prove it.

Boards

A board seat that ships

I join boards and advisory committees where AI is a strategic question, not a side project. I bring an operator's view: what to build, what to buy, and what to stop.

StrategyAI roadmap that ties to margin and growth, reviewed every quarter against shipped results.
GovernanceData, security and model risk policies the team can actually follow.
M&ALived the full exit process: data room, due diligence, SPA, integration.
TalentHow to hire and organise small, AI-native teams. When not to hire at all.
NetworkFounders, operators and investors across France and Europe.

Invest

Small team. Bold bet. First cheque.

I invest my own money as a business angel, at pre-seed and seed, in any field where a few people can change how something works. I back the team first. The idea will change; the people will not.

No fund, no committee, no partners' meeting. You talk to the person who decides, and when it works I can follow on and double down in your next round.

What you get back

Every founder who pitches gets the same memo I read: scores, strengths, risks, and the three questions I will ask on the call.

Pitch your team

Tell me who you are, and why you can't stop

Seven short steps. Write the way you talk. Specific beats polished: one true story is worth more than a perfect market slide.

Your AI agent drafts the pitch from your docs. You review every answer and send it yourself.
