Startup Weekend - Free Will

This short article describes the exhaltating experience of building and pitching, in 2 days (and 2 nights) a startup project.
The Austin 2015 startup week gave me the opportunity to get into the modern ways to make a market study, to see how comfortable and fast milenials are with Web technologies. Eye opening!
I could retrieve the excitment of high dynamics and agility of a small team. A rush of high pace and competitive environment where our motivation and rigor were critical.
Our 5 people team got us to the top: "And the Winner is: Free Will", our online testament service. Very convincing and quite viable.

Publication

Below is a link to a book which I higly recommend if you are interested in the SmartCard (...and speak French). I have a special thought for chapter 2, La carte SIM et ses applications dans la téléphonie mobile (The SIM Card and its application in the Mobile Phone industry), which I wrote with my colleague and friend Patrick BIGET.

A lot of other great people participated this book: Marc LASSUS, Pierre PARADINAS, Eric VETILLARD, Gilles GRIMAUD, Jean-Louis LANET, Stéphanie MOTRÉ. I had a chance to work with most of them !
