Pierre-Olivier Carles’s Summary

With Kipost, I spend most of my time supporting actively web entrepreneurs or Internet projects from very early-stage or seed to the next steps.

That means sometimes financing, supporting the operations, coaching the entrepreneurs, networking, fine tuning marketing and business model or improving business development... and sometimes all together.

I also speak at conferences or corporate seminars about different digital topics : Internet Start-Ups, Digital Revolution related to business, Virtual Worlds for Companies uses, Green IT, iPhone Apps Market...

With Stonfield, my third company, I help clients in achieving their goals or fixing their team's issues by mixing Stonfield's services (such as HR Consulting, Corporate Events, Training, Team Coaching, Internet tools and Virtual Worlds...).

At Labotec, we’ve come to realize that some of the best ideas come from the most uncommon places. There are a myriad of needs, pain points, and use cases in the world, and no one person can come up with every single one of them. For that reason, we’ve decided to found a business that would enable everyday people to put their ideas into action. Our company is here to reward the creative types that see things in the world that others have missed; that see opportunity where others have been satisfied with the status quo.

Before, I used to help companies in implementing Internet AND Virtual Worlds solutions in coherence with their strategy. I was mainly working on marketing, e-Learning and e-Business projects for clients such as Suez, Saint-Gobain, Crédit Agricole, the French Navy, etc...
