Hi there,
I'm Solène 👋

Entrepreneur, Mentor, Advisor, Ex-Googler & YC Alum.

Product manager turned startup founder & advisor 🚀

Prior to pursuing the entrepreneurial path, I worked at Google for 7 years where I developed a deep understanding of how small business owners interact with digital tools while gaining expertise in product management, business operations and digital marketing.

Companies I started:

Snippyly (YC W22)

Building the collaboration layer for the web. With Snippyly APIs, developers can make their app multiplayer & collaborative, just like Figma.

Testimonials

Chip Conley

Founder, the Modern Elder Academy

“Solène's influence on MEA was profound and exceptionally valuable as she helped support our small, fast-agrowing organization to integrate digital technology into our core operations. She did this seamlessly and successfully got our Boomer/GenX leadership team on board. Solène's greatest strengths are in developing logical, understandable processes, patiently outlining that path to the team while thoughtfully listening to concerns, and then relentlessly managing that plan while adapting based upon new information. I can't say enough good things about Solène.”
