Congrats @AClaireLegendre !

[France Diplomatie 🇫🇷🇪🇺 @francediplo]

Saviez-vous qu' @AClaireLegendre parlait arabe ?

Mais saviez-vous que son niveau avait été certifié par l'institut monde arabe ?

L'@imarabe est une institution unique au monde, la diplomate Anne-Claire Legendre devient la première femme à le présider. En 2021, elle revenait sur son apprentissage de l'arabe, sa certification à l'IMA et la centralité de la langue dans la diplomatie française.

Lieu ouvert et pluridisciplinaire, dédié au dialogue culturel franco-arabe et conçu pour développer des liens forts et durables entre le monde arabe, la France et l’Europe, l'institut du monde arabe est un espace privilégié pour les projets culturels dans leur pluralité, conçus en collaboration avec les institutions, les créateurs et les penseurs du monde arabe.

مرحباً بكم في معهد العالم العربي قريباً

Personal update: I broke up with France and just moved to San Francisco 🇫🇷💔🇺🇸

After 2.5 years building Gigi from Paris, it was about time. We did what we could there, built the foundations, proved the vision, and recently raised a new round with Khosla after a full product pivot.

But at some point, you outgrow the place that raised you. France is that charming ex who says they love your fire… but keeps asking you to lower your voice at dinner.

And I can’t. I tried.

When you build something ambitious, you realize geography isn’t neutral. It either multiplies your luck or quietly kills your momentum. I chose to go where luck compounds.

- Where working until 2 am with your team isn’t seen as toxic, it’s just called building.
- Where being outspoken, weird or “too much” is celebrated.
- Where telling a story about something that doesn’t exist yet doesn’t make you sound stupid, it makes them text 3 friends saying “you need to meet her.”
- And where the density of talent and energy dares you to raise your own f****** bar every single day.

So here I am. Surrounded by creepy AI billboards. New city. New chapter.

Same mission: building an AI that turns everything you’ve done, and everyone you know, into the opportunities you were always meant to have.

I don’t usually make a wishlist, but this move feels like a big one. Here's what I’m looking for as I settle in:

1) A founding CTO who’s built before and wants to go all in with me.
2) Founder friends who wanna hang out, b**** about their investors, compare retention curves, and become early Gigi testers.
3) A flat to share with my favorite human, @HugoAmsellem
4) Share this tweet. Much love 💛

SF, I’m here. I’m a pain in the ass, but a fun one to be around I promise. Hit me up!
