Maxime Paradis

I am an entrepreneur, venture capital investor, community builder and speaker working at the intersection of startups, venture capital, AI, European tech and founder ecosystems.

As the founder of Paradise Club, I lead a community of 1,500+ angel investors investing in early-stage startups and pre-IPO tech companies. I am also Co-founder & Managing Partner at United Founders, a pan-European venture capital initiative backing ambitious founders across Europe.

I speak on topics such as startup fundraising, venture capital, angel investing, AI, founder communities, European tech sovereignty, personal branding and the future of entrepreneurship in Europe.

My talks are practical, sharp and engaging. I combine real-world investment experience, founder insights, ecosystem perspective and concrete frameworks that audiences can immediately use.

I am available for keynotes, panels, fireside chats, workshops, masterclasses and private executive sessions.

Typical audiences include founders, investors, students, business leaders, innovation teams, corporates, family offices, startup communities and public institutions.

Selected topics:

I have spoken at major tech and entrepreneurship events, including VivaTech, the European Tech Sovereignty Summit, TEDx, HEC Paris and other leading universities, investor gatherings and startup ecosystem events.
