Testimonies from incubated students and Alumni
Today, the geek is no longer alone in his room. The gaming community is very important to us. Nowadays, it's a sector that brings people together, that creates moments of sharing and that even allows friendships to be forged. The Komate application allows gamers to find people nearby who share the same passions based on geographical criteria, gamers' interests, their age...
At the very beginning of KlaK, I was lucky enough to be contacted by a concept store that wanted to offer my products in their shop. To tell you the truth, it took me two months to reply to them because I was not prepared to sell in a shop. They asked quite technical questions about prices. At first, I thought I would only sell my products on my website. I hadn't prepared the pricing conditions for BtoB.
At that time, I had no idea that I would have my own shoe brand three years later. I expected to be the best man at Matthieu's wedding and vice versa! On the other hand, to create our own company and to be in charge of thirty people after 5 years, I would probably have found it harder to believe.
