Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJulien Quintard is a founder and CEO with 23 years of experience building distributed systems, developer tools, and startups from research to acquisition. He earned a PhD-level background in distributed systems at Cambridge, turned that research into Infinit — a decentralized storage platform acquired by Docker — and later led product integrations at Docker including work on Docker Desktop. As Managing Director of Techstars Paris he helped source and scale early-stage companies, and as an angel investor he’s advised 40+ startups across product, hiring and fundraising. Today he leads Routine, a data-centric, local-first work OS that reflects his long-running focus on resilient, programmatic infrastructure. He blends deep academic rigor and hands-on engineering with operator experience in accelerators and venture, and is pragmatic about introductions and network-driven access. Based in Paris, he often prefers warm intros over cold outreach.
