📩 hello@maximeparadis.com 
Community Expert, Entrepreneur, Angel Investor 🙌
I started building communities at 15, around a passion project that brought together +20,000 people. At 21, I launched my first startup, turning my passion for fostering communities into a strategic mission.
This led me to co-found the European Tech Sovereignty Summit, hosted annually at the Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs, and to collaborate with major players like VivaTech, France Digitale, and Bpifrance in shaping impactful communities.
Today, I have the privilege of helping major companies, organizations and nonprofits run and empower their communities and organize impactful events with Paradise Group.
I also dedicate time to mentoring the next generation, teaching entrepreneurship and personal development at top institutions like HEC and Paris-Saclay.
Over the past decade, my commitment to connecting people has only grown stronger, bringing together a diverse network of students, entrepreneurs, business angels and VCs, and fostering meaningful relationships across the innovation ecosystem.
