Charles Thou
Agorize
Co-founder
Description
Charles graduated from HEC Paris in 2010, where he created a non-profit association specialized in shooting & editing short movies for NGOs during his student years.
Working as the webmaster for the association led him to specialize in the digital field and pushed him to become an entrepreneur at the end of his studies. He indeed co-founded Agorize in 2011 with two fellow students (successively CEO and Chief Strategy Officer), now a 100-strong international scale-up specializing in open innovation and collective intelligence.
The company employs a 100 talents across 5 countries and edits a SaaS innovation platform, connected to a 5m innovators and talents network (universities, incubators, students, hackers, startups).
Charles is passionate about nature sports and the environment: an avid surfer and fisherman, he used to be a ski instructor in the Pyrenees and is actively committed to protecting the Oceans as a member of Surfrider Foundation's Blue Collective.
