Mathieu Despres

My time at UC Berkeley in California in the context of the Entrepreneurship, Technology and Start-up Management program at SKEMA Business School, was a truly transformative experience. I have always had the ambition to create my own company, and this program provided me with the keys to make this dream a reality. I never thought I would be able to study in the heart of Silicon Valley at one of the best universities in the world.

Beyond the academic aspects, this time at Berkeley was an opportunity to meet exceptional people who shared the same passion for innovation and entrepreneurship. The exchanges with my classmates, professors, and local entrepreneurs were an invaluable source of inspiration and knowledge.

Thanks to this unique experience made possible by SKEMA, I was able to bring my entrepreneurial project to life. Today, I work full-time in my company (Melitte) that I co-founded with two childhood friends.
