London – some learnings
.
London is the older European startup hub that everybody is talking about, even if Berlin, Dublin and Stockholm are gaining a good reputation to launch businesses. As well I’ve heard and read a lot about London, I’ve never been there (except half a day as I was in language school in Brighton!) and I’ve seized the opportunity of London Web…

.
next week some of my thoughts about how we could transform the startup landscape in Switzerland. In the meantime, I wanted to share with you some of my notes taken during DLD Conference last month in Münich (which I was lucky enough to be invited to – but that’s another story).

10 hot things you didn't know about e-commerce

At LeWeb, I’ve mainly met people rather than listening to keynotes and attending workshops (even if some of them were amazing… it’s unfortunately difficult to duplicate itself!). One of the workshop I have listened to was hold by LaPoste.fr and was about e-commerce. Here after you’ll find some key learning from this workshop! Behind an…

Is wine the new goldmine?
.
In Western Switzerland, the new goldmine seems to be wine, especially wine subscription. In the recent months, I’ve heard about 3 local startups (Vinoabo, Up-To-Wine, Wiine.me) tackling this opportunity (and I’m sure I’m not aware of many, many other ones – from traditional wine resellers to other startups).
