About Mathieu

I support startups, SMEs, and companies that want to transform an idea into a real product and a viable business.
An entrepreneur since I was 17, I have founded and managed several companies in deeptech and hardware, including Somanity, which designs medical and industrial exoskeletons. This journey has taught me to do what many find difficult: move from concept to prototype, from prototype to industrialized product, and then from product to market.
Specifically, the projects I support and my own have won nearly €1 million in grants and competitions. I know how to structure an innovative project, build a credible funding application, and avoid the classic mistakes that waste time and money.
What I can do for you:

Frame and structure an innovative project, from idea to prototype
Help you secure funding (grants, competitions, deeptech applications)
Advise you on the industrialization and market launch of a product
Challenge your innovation strategy with an external entrepreneurial perspective

I am also a speaker (TEDx, European Space Agency, over 100 international appearances). If you are looking for a speaker who can make innovation concrete and inspiring, I speak at your events.
