Stanislas Marion

Hi, I'm Stanislas Marion. I'm a tech entrepreneur in Paris.

I am an avid learner and I like to get really good at what I’m doing. I went from Legos to video games to PHP to chess to math to online poker and back to computer science. Successfully playing online poker professionally at middle to high stakes taught me a lot about risk-taking, long-term focus and short term swings, adapting and the value of money. After working for 1.5 years at a Parisian startup, I decided to make the jump and launch mine, with Charles and Louis. I graduated from Ecole Centrale Paris and have an MS in Management Science and Engineering from Stanford University.
