A word
from the founder
There were two main reasons for choosing the Paris-Dauphine Incubator. The first was its attachment to the University of Paris-Dauphine and its programmes of excellence, particularly in mathematics. Secondly, I had a strong attachment to it after studying there and incubating my first company, which was successfully sold a few years later.

A little bit
of history
The project was born from three strong convictions:
1/ Technology (and more particularly adaptive learning) combined with advanced gamification mechanisms can enable the emergence of a more personalised and efficient training mode, in particular in Mathematics whose exercise format fits perfectly with the model. Also, this technology could address a major problem in Western European countries, and in the United States, which is characterised by an increasingly low average level of mathematics compared to Asian countries (whose training methods, such as the Singapore method, have proven their worth).
2/ The Edtech sector is largely undervalued compared to other Tech verticals, despite a strong propensity to consume in this segment both: – from governments (who have already identified the level of Mathematics as a predictive indicator of a country’s economic success) – from families (who consider Mathematics education as an increasingly crucial foundation for young populations, in a world increasingly dominated by digital technology).
3/ Technology is a mean of democratising excellent training, currently reserved for an elite, due to its prohibitive cost. Therefore, if this solution proves itself, it would be an effective way of democratising access to quality training from the earliest age, personalised for each child.
