About
François Gobert
Back in 2014 I was looking for a new challenge as I was finishing my studies in South America. At that time, I was already passionated about two main things: traveling & entrepreneurship. So I decided to go on a journey and I built my own project named Startup Weekend World Tour and I went traveling the World over 10 months attending as many Startup Weekends as I could on my road. In nearly one year, I created 16 startup projects in 14 different countries! I traveled 25 countries and 51,000 kilometers on three Continents. I met people from our World and had the most inspiriting experience of my life. When I went back to France, I told myself that being an entrepreneur looks like traveling in a way so why not mixing these two aspects (traveling & entrepreneurship) under the same label. The Startup Tour was born and there is only one ambition for me: train the best entrepreneurs of today!
