The platform serves over 2,000 clients including YCombinator, Zengo, and Wisbee, and has recently been featured in several articles including Forbes, FinSMEs, and Business Mole. Nicolas has a Master of Science in Computer Science degree from the Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers, has been awarded 4 patents on computer compiler optimization and email deliverability, and speaks French, English, and German.Nicolas candidly discussed the challenges he faced in the early stages of his career. From grappling with the intricacies of email deliverability to ensuring that his platform catered to the needs of different corporate giants, his journey was not without its hurdles.

However, instead of viewing it as a setback, he treated it as a learning experience. Drawing lessons from his past failures, he channeled his insights and experiences into the creation of Inboxbooster.
