Senior🎓
Top SchoolRomain Dillet is a founder and veteran tech journalist with 15 years covering startups, VC and product strategy across Europe. After a 13-year tenure at TechCrunch where he authored over 3,500 articles and broke early stories on companies like Revolut, Alan and N26, he now runs Hypertext, an opinionated newsletter focused on European startups and venture capital. He recently moved into investing as a principal at an early-stage fund, blending editorial instincts with deal-sourcing and sector knowledge in fintech, infra, consumer and AI. Based in Paris and trained at emlyon business school and Prépa HEC, he combines rigorous analysis with a knack for spotting trends before they mainstream. Less obvious: his career bridges media influence and direct participation in the startup ecosystem, giving him both narrative authority and operational credibility.
