Co-founder CTO - AI for Impact

Become my associate!

Looking for a Cofounder CTO · Paris · Q2 2026

Industrial procurement teams make transport decisions without seeing the full cost of those decisions.

Mikado does one thing: make all these costs visible at the moment of procurement decision, so the buyer can optimize across them instead of optimizing only on the visible one (price).

Real ROI. Resilient and Sustainable European industry in a high volatility market. More budget to fund for decarbonation investments. With optimized transport procurement decisions, carriers are selected based on multiple criteria including carbon emissions. Reducing 1% of European industrial road transport emissions by 2030, is equivalent to removing 200 000 cars off the roads. That’s the core of the system, not just an sustainability KPI.

⚙️ TECH

Not a GPT wrapper

Building an agentic AI system that ingests all kind of non-standardized documents, emails, spreadsheets, cost matrices and produces an auditable decision across five dimensions. This is not another GPT wrapper: a distributed system with a normalisation layer, scoring models, bills and contract matching, proprietary data gathering for performance and carbon emission of European carriers.
