From selling a stock photo agency for $800 million to designing an electric microcar, and everything in between—including founding over fifty startups and launching a solar sail for space exploration—Thibaud Elzière never stops.
Trained as an engineer, he founded Fotolia in 2004 and sold it to Adobe 10 years later. He then co-founded eFounders—now Hexa—one of the first startup studios and the operation behind three unicorns and dozens of companies in Europe and the United States.
Together with his brother Robin, he is reinventing high-end hospitality through Iconic House, a collection of hotel-homes that are shaking up the conventions of luxury travel.
An insatiable entrepreneur, he has invested in over 300 startups and tirelessly explores the major challenges of tomorrow: mobility, energy, space, artificial intelligence, and more.
In this book, he recounts his bitter failures and his resounding successes. He shares his methods, his convictions, and his vision of a bold, committed, and deeply European entrepreneurship.
More than an autobiography, it is a manifesto for entrepreneurship. A book for those who want to keep their feet on the ground and their heads in the stars.
