In this guest contribution, Solenne Niedercorn-Desouches highlights a few points from her interview with Quentin Nickmans. They talk about the projects Nickmans has launched over the years, including the eFounders studio and the creation of new verticals in Web 3.0, fintech and climate, as well as Roundtable, a startup that allows founders to raise funds from their community of business angels.

It had been on my mind for some time to invite Quentin Nickmans to the Finscale podcast to talk about about the many projects he has launched over the last ten years. We’ve succeeded.

There’s a lot to discover in this exchange: the launch of the startup studio (formerly eFounders), the expansion of the model and the creation of new verticals in Web 3.0, fintech or climate, as well as the challenges and obstacles encountered. Quentin also talks about funding, the team and his personal investment in all these projects.

I had to select one project in particular to look at in greater depth, and I picked . Roundtable is a wonderful nugget that recently came out of the studio, enabling founders, among others, to gather their community of business angels and to raise funds. We discuss Angel-X’s early inspirations, the very first draft of the project, its distinctions with equity crowdfunding, meeting the co-founders and the startup’s aspirations and plans.
