Exploring what's worth building.

Every venture here started the same way: conversations with the people closest to the problem.

Why you might be hearing from me

No pitch. Just your honest experience.

Most of this work is discovery: reaching out to people to understand the problems they deal with day to day. If a message from me is what brought you here, this is how it works.

Get in touch
Nothing to buy
I'm not selling you anything. I'm trying to understand your world, not pitch into it.
It goes both ways
You get a genuine conversation about your area of expertise. At various points I report back, anonymously, on what I'm hearing from your peers.
20 to 30 minutes
A short, focused conversation. What you share genuinely shapes what gets built.
Who's doing the research?
Matthieu Bodin
If a message from me brought you here, I'm the one who'll show up to the conversation. Here's the short version of who that is.I've spent 15+ years helping build new ventures — first in China with Techstars and XNode, then across Europe with Mach49, building inside Fortune 1000 companies.These days I explore ventures of my own and, now and then, with a company bringing an idea to market. The through-line has always been the same question: how do you tell what's actually worth building? It usually starts with talking to the people closest to the problem.That's what this site is: the ventures those conversations have led to.

If any of this resonates, or you'd just like to compare notes, I'd genuinely like to hear from you.No pitch, nothing to buy — just a conversation.

Most of this work starts with discovery: understanding a problem deeply before anything gets built. That means talking to people who live with the problem day to day. If I contacted you, it's because your experience is directly relevant to something I'm looking into.
