Alice Zagury was born into a family driven by the progressive ideals of the 1960s, a world full of music, art and culture. Growing up in the suburbs, she felt and saw the discrimination and underlying racism around her. The 2008 crisis exacerbated things, reinforcing just how incapable their society was at integrating young people and minorities.. She discovered the tech world almost by accident. She first worked with art galleries and artists’ collectives, and then some engineers, before She was struck with the desire to help those new players of economic growth, startups. The digital world used fresh tools that could defeat those barriers that she had always seen: a culture of sharing, of learning from one’s errors, that valorizes “doing”.
