Senior🎓
Top SchoolRomain Caron is an entrepreneurial engineer and founder based in Paris with 11 years of cross-disciplinary experience building startups and leading teams from product to growth. He has co-founded and scaled ventures including Weboost, Meetravelers, Unplug and recently Ultime Nectar, combining technical curiosity with commercial leadership and a background in industrial engineering and entrepreneurship from INSA Lyon and HEC Paris. Comfortable switching between product, sales and operations, he has led go-to-market and GM responsibilities while keeping a hands-on creative streak in music and immersive hospitality experiences. An investor in climate-focused Time for the Planet, he blends purpose-driven investing with maker instincts—equally at ease discussing system design or the craft behind a memorable tasting or performance. Not immediately obvious: alongside leadership roles he still codes and identifies as a passionate developer, bringing practical technical fluency to founder-level strategy.
