    • A 28 years young free soul

      ​

      I've always been trying to improve people's life, seeking for ideas that could change our way of living.

      I first started a business in the drone industry when I was 19, developed my own drones and stabilization camera heads mount to produce high quality video content for many industries as movies, extreme sports, advertising or TV series. I was the official Xgames' drone pilot.

       

      I then moved to San Francisco to run SLICK for 3 years, from crowdfunding, fundraising, R&D, manufacturing in China to worldwide distribution.

      I then realized that I was great at launching consumer product through crowdfunding, so I now focus my time on growth marketing.

       

      Exploring the world? Yes, 52 countries and counting!

    • Crowdfunding Hacker

      Over $10M raised through 4 campaigns

      After raising $450,000 on Indiegogo in 2015 for SLICK. I wanted to challenge myself in 2019 and launched KABUTO. From shooting the video, designing the page for efficiency, finding the right influencers to finally raising $980K.

       

      Proud to say I cracked the code of Crowdfunding.

       

      I then applied the same formula to launch EYERIDE ($1,5M) in March 2020

       

      Followed by SUPERSTRATA ($7.5M) in September 2020
