Greely -- Energize your low-carbon strategy. Back in 2020, I built the MVP of Greenly during my very first freelance gig. Alexis Normand (ex-Withings) offered me a co-founder role — but I had just come off 5 intense years of almost-making-it with Nelio, and I was discovering the joy of freelancing at €600/day 😅 No regrets. Just stories.
