Serendipia is the first tokenized and securitized cooperative in the history of humanity inspired and based on the Swiss legislation.
A new generation protocol for social good.
Our two token eco-system will empower intentional and regenerative communities across the galaxy.
The Serendipia Cooperative protocol allows cooperatives to have global teams to address global issues, to build micro-economies, and/or simply tokenize communities, networks, lands, or other assets.

Previous Companies Started
"Above all, you want to create something you're proud of. This has always been my philosophy of business. I can honestly say that I have never gone into any business purely to make money. If that is the sole motive, then I believe you are better off not doing it."
Sir Richard Branson
Simba Education
Co-Founder
We won Startup Weekend leading to being regional finalist of the HULT Prize in San Francisco before to raise 52,000$ during an Indiegogo campaign. Today Simba is still active in Zimbabwe and South Africa after having raised $250,000 from local investors. We had to split ways for personal reasons. This experience taught me the importance of communication and human relationship in any kind of organization.
Think Image Agency
CEO, Founder
At the end of my bachelor degree at UBI, we had to create a business plan from scratch and pitch it to Trends Tendance. I got the highest grade and started it straight out of school. It was using my creative thinking and sense of business to help companies with their advertising and marketing. However, I didn't feel like working on something that could be a big impact enough in the world so I decided to focus on tackling the world biggest challenges and left to San Francisco to study social entrepreneurship.
Powerseed Official Distributor
Exclusive Reseller for Belgium and Portugal
With one of my ex-classmate, we negotiated an exclusivity agreement with Snapper, a company based in Hong Kong with a manufacturer in Shenzen producing high quality and innovative tech products. We had to sell 1000 units per months and we kept the exclusivity agreement in Belgium for almost one year until I left for San Francisco to study my masters in social entrepreneurship. This experience made me realise I wanted to work on more meaningful ventures.

Travel
"Live as if you were to die tomorrow; learn as if you were to live forever." Gandhi
Internship in Cape Town
EF Education First - Marketing Dpt. and Customer Service
Cape Town, South Africa
"I used to think that life had a plan for me. Until I realised that life had to be planned by me." I found that sentence written on one of this house in the township of Cape Town. My advice: Step back and re-read it. Realise that you can do pretty much anything with a plan, determination and persistence.
That day helping, giving food and playing soccer with children over there gave me the want to come back there with bigger project, to try to help them in a sustainable way. Since, I have been looking for opportunities in social entrepreneurship. In the near future, I definitely want to combine again my passions for humanity and soccer.
Leading the UBI Soccer Team to Cup Der Privaten in Berlin
International soccer tournament and networking event between business schools
Soccer has always been a passion, I wanted to share that passion with my fellow students at the United Business Institutes. This is how I started to organize the venue at Cup Der Privaten of the Official UBI Team with their weekly training, official equipment, supporters, travel and accommodations. It was a real success, we won the trophy of the best newcomers out of 64 teams, atmosphere, party and networking were in the place. You can find the presentation I created for the faculty members here and the pictures of the event here.
