Valentin Viennot

I am an inventor, driven by a principle of equitable empowerment. My individual mission is to enhance both individual and collective human intelligence while ensuring my happiness and those of others around me.

From a young age I've been drawn towards problem solving, leveraging my ideas and inventions. This passion ultimately led me to pursue an engineering degree at INSA Lyon, which I graduated from with honours. I specialized in communication systems and also had the chance to study machine learning and artificial intelligence at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL). I then worked for IBM as a software engineer and eventually joined Canonical, the publishers of Ubuntu, as the executive product manager for their cloud technical products. Lastly, I decided to leave the conventional path to explore ambitious ideas—accelerated by Entrepreneur First.

I am interested in areas with leverage, such as open source and education. I believe that together we have the power to do anything.
