Summary
Gauthier Nadaud is a founder and product-minded technologist with a decade of experience scaling hardware-enabled startups and public-sector digital services. He co-founded Smiirl, taking an IoT marketing product from prototype to customers in 85 countries, and later spent three years inside France’s beta.gouv/DINUM coaching state startups on digital product delivery. Currently enrolled in an Executive Master at École Polytechnique, he blends engineering chops (Le Wagon, UTC) with business and design sensibilities from HEC Montréal to tackle early-stage deep tech and space-tech opportunities. Now on a self-directed build period, he experiments across AI, hardware and rapid prototype projects while advising design-led electronics ventures and serving on boards. Pragmatic, curious and good at asking the “annoying” questions, he’s drawn to founding teams and ambitious builders who need product strategy, storytelling and operational experience.
