Back in Europe, it was time for a final sprint before their big California launch. The team gathered in Northern France for an intense prep session. The stakes were higher this time—less fun, more pressure. Growth strategy was in full swing, and beta testing had already begun. The dynamics were changing too. Corentin, who had been with them since the early days, opted to pivot into finance, leaving the team. Ayush also had to step back, and in came Christian, the newest tech lead. Christian brought a fresh perspective and immediately clicked with the team. With him onboard, the pace picked up, and they were finally getting the momentum they needed for launch.
