Yann LECHELLE

Service premium de développement d'applications pour mobile (iPhone notamment)

ETHERYL est un des pionniers offrant des solutions privatives de social networking et de collaboration appliquées aux milieux académiques, associatifs et plus récemment professionnels.

La boucle est bouclée en 6 ans: création, profitable dès la première année, développement à l'international, croissance, équipe stable, vente.

ETHERYL représente pour moi un premier cycle complet souhaitable dans le parcours d'un entrepreneur en série. Je reste un actionnaire minoritaire et participe à son évolution en tant que conseil technique senior ("Chief Architect").
