Top SchoolOlivier Schulbaum is a founder and social-innovation technologist with over two decades building open-source platforms and networks that amplify civic participation and the digital commons. As co-founder and Head of R&D at Platoniq and Goteo, he has combined agile methodologies, ethical crowdfunding, and distributed collaboration to channel funds, skills and knowledge toward public-good projects across Europe, Latin America and Asia. He advises institutions like Civio and Europeana on impact assessment and sector benchmarking, translating cultural heritage and policy goals into measurable digital initiatives. Based in Barcelona, he blends a background in audiovisual production with formal training in deliberative democracy and conflict resolution, a mix that helps him craft engaging, participatory tech interventions rather than just tools.
