Sebastien Toupy

Founder, storyteller & strategist. I have a real passion for startups, technology, and social impact. I currently dedicate my time to designing education programs & events that help founders to build successful, inclusive & sustainable ventures.Ive spent the past 9 years building startup communities and delivering programs that shed light on the next generation of tech entrepreneurs. The current challenges we are facing as a society are pushing the tech community to innovate in order to solve some of the worlds most pressing challenges such as the climate crisis, food waste, affordable health care, mobility, connectivity and access to modern education.Over the years Ive helped founders to articulate their story and lay out an effective growth strategy. I help people to connect with the right investors, mentors, and corporations with whom to build pilots and partnerships that will lead both parties to create an impact. I believe that Impact startups are the future and hope that soon the question of purpose v.s profit wont be asked anymore. I support a series of organisations actively promoting entrepreneurship and social Impact (E.g SXSW, EU Commission, Seedstars, Startup Chile, Innofest, Impact Hub, Tech2Impact, Startup wise guys, Make Sense or Decelera)I am passionate about deep tech and game changing SaaS solutions. #listgeek #productivitytools #techgadgets. In my spare time, I truly enjoy photography, hiking and anything that has to do with food. I spend my weekends looking for those little holes in the wall that bring people so much joy!
