About Pauline

With over 10 years of experience across VC, startups, and operations, I bring a 360° understanding of what it takes to build, fund, and scale ambitious projects.

I started my career in the French startup and VC ecosystem, working for a major incubator, a venture capital firm, and a fundraising advisory company. This gave me a strong grasp of both founders’ and investors’ perspectives.

I then joined Team Vitality, France’s leading esports organization, as COO and later VP Esports. As one of the company’s first employees, I helped structure and scale the organization from 4 to 100+ people, overseeing operations, finance, HR, legal, and strategy, while leading business units of over 60 staff, athletes, and coaches.

Later, as Director of Operations & Clients at BOLD House, I worked closely with cofounders to strengthen the company’s structure, improve internal processes, and elevate client experience.

Today, I am the founder of Plouf, a fast-growing community helping entrepreneurs connect, find cofounders, and launch impactful projects tackling climate and social issues. Building Plouf has deepened my expertise in community strategy, early-stage entrepreneurship, and product design for purpose-driven initiatives.
