I teach business and innovation strategy at engineering schools and I spent 2 years mentoring 2 French startups. I participate in several startup selection jurys in France. I enjoy very much putting my business experience at the service of entrepreneurs to help them gain a better understanding of their market, improve their business and sales strategies, identify strategic partners, and also better communicate with their partners and to the market place. I expect a harmonious and transparent relationship with my mentee company
It can be a very early stage startup with not much more than a concept or a first prototype. It can be a more mature company which has strategic issues to sort out in order to grow further and internationalize. it can be a company in a lot of trouble that needs to pivot and reinvent itself. The mentee company must be involved with some form of digital services because this is the domain I have the most expertise in
