Thrilled, honoured, and immensely grateful to share that Vega Gibraltar has been nominated for Gibraltar Startup of the Year!   I would really appreciate it if you would give us a vote (it only takes a couple of minutes): https://lnkd.in/er8YGRVp A brief note on how we got here: Six months ago, I found myself in a place I didn’t expect. I was burned out and out of work, and honestly, I didn’t know what my next move would be. After taking a step back, and spending time traveling to recharge, I started thinking about what was next, feeling both excitement and uncertainty.   At that moment, Carl Hallam reached out, asking if I’d help with his start-up while his co-founder, Steven Taylor, was out of the office. Those few days reignited something in me. I felt the energy of building something new, of being part of a vision. Then Carl and Steven did something I hadn’t anticipated... they offered me a chance to join them as a director and co-owner.   Despite my excitement, the decision wasn’t easy, especially with no stable salary on the table and a house to support. But with my wife Maja Lemezovic Smith’s support and encouragement, I decided to take the leap. Looking back, I wouldn’t trade it for anything. The last few months have been a journey of resilience, reinvention, and finding purpose in what we do for our clients.   Receiving this nomination feels like a celebration of that journey. Not just for me, but for everyone who took a chance on us and believed in our vision. This recognition is a reminder that every challenge has been worth it. Here’s to the journey ahead! #startup #gibraltar #startupgrind

FrenchTech: The Power of Merging 🇫🇷 and 🇺🇸 Ecosystems French founders are making their mark globally, from Paris to Silicon Valley. The numbers don’t lie: French entrepreneurs in the US have driven incredible success with 8 IPOs, 18 unicorns, and $83B in market value—proof that when the right ecosystem meets the right talent, amazing things happen. But here’s the exciting part: France is catching up. The French Tech ecosystem is growing stronger, with 26 unicorns and more funding and support than ever before. It’s clear that the real magic happens when these two ecosystems come together. At Inovexus, we’re passionate about building those bridges. 👉 We bring the US mindset—ambition, speed, and scale—to French entrepreneurs. 👉 We connect startups to a network of international investors and advisors who know what it takes to grow globally. 👉 And we help founders leverage the best of both ecosystems to create companies that thrive beyond borders. France has the talent, the creativity, and now the infrastructure to go further. By fostering collaboration between France and the US, we’re helping unlock the full potential of French founders, one deal at a time. The momentum is here. Let’s keep building the future of FrenchTech, together. What’s your perspective on the cross-border opportunities for French startups? I’d love to hear your thoughts! #FrenchTech #VentureCapital #Startups #Entrepreneurship Inovexus Philippe Roche Stanislas de Villelongue Martin Peillon Alice Gouzalch Tom Revil Grégoire Rouquette Matteo Trulli Coralie Diab Giorgio Alessandri
