POV: Content creator expert starts creating content — the loop is complete.

1y ago, Jules and I signed our first customer without having a product.
Back then, we had run discovery with several B2C brands, and all we wanted was to test some assumptions without spending too much time building.
So we started selling a solution to see if some brands could see enough value to buy it. Turns out we signed one, but during onboarding, we realized our product was only halfway complete. 🫣
At least we knew we were on the right track. So we went back to building and returned to the brand one month later with our MVP ready.
Since then, our product has evolved a lot: we’ve pivoted, changed our business model, and started selling to totally different target customers.
None of this journey would have been possible without learning along the way. By trying, failing, and succeeding in some ways.
Still a lot to learn, and we’re just getting started 🧨

Creator advertising is outperforming all other marketing channels. Yet brands can't go all in.
For the past months, we've been listening to brands and creators struggling to run successful campaigns efficiently.
One thing became clear: what the market needs is not "one more tool".
But a data-driven approach without the operational hassle.
That's why we're pivoting Gems AI into the first AI-native ad platform for creator advertising.
Same vision, clearer path. And we're making it real, backed by 2 strategic advisors & investors: Romain Kuzniak & Piyush Mishra!
If you're a brand or creator and want to be part of this, my DMs are open.

How did we hack Web Summit? 👕
Among 70,000 visitors, it’s hard to find your target customers.
So we made T-shirts!
With Gems AI value proposition in BOLD letters:
« Influencer marketing at twice the speed & half the cost. »
Sounds too good to be true?
Well, that’s what dozens of leads came to find out — resulting in valuable conversations.
Most of the time, it’s not that you have the wrong message.
It’s just that nobody hears or sees it.
Nothing beats guerrilla marketing 🪓
