Samuel Vicko is an entrepreneur, investor, business mentor, and technology educator whose work lies at the intersection of entrepreneurship, corporate development, financing, and technological innovation. Trained at Novancia Business School Paris, he has developed his career through the creation and management of entrepreneurial initiatives, the development of business communities, and the support of founders seeking to transform their ideas into structured and viable companies. His experience has given him a practical understanding of the different stages involved in building a business: defining a clear concept, validating a market opportunity, developing a suitable business model, organising operations, building a team, managing resources, attracting partners, and preparing a company for sustainable growth. Samuel is the Director of Jamaafunding, an innovative platform based on the concept of “crowdtiming.” This model goes beyond traditional crowdfunding by allowing project leaders to mobilise not only financial contributions, but also time, professional skills, strategic advice, and operational support. Through Jamaafunding, he contributes to a more inclusive approach to entrepreneurial financing. He works from the conviction that many promising projects do not fail because of a lack of ideas, but because their founders lack access to capital, expertise, competent collaborators, professional networks, or the practical support required to execute their vision. His approach therefore connects financing with human capital. Rather than viewing investment exclusively as a financial transaction, he considers time, knowledge, experience, networks, and professional skills to be resources that can help an entrepreneur build a stronger and more credible project. Samuel has also developed extensive experience in emerging technologies, particularly blockchain, cryptocurrencies, Web3, and digital business models. As a consultant, trainer, speaker, and workshop facilitator, he has helped entrepreneurs and startups better understand these technologies, distinguish genuine opportunities from speculation, and evaluate how innovation can be applied to real business problems. He is the creator of educational and media initiatives such as DOMINO Academy and the Domino Podcast. Through these platforms, he explores technological transformation, entrepreneurship, investment, and the future of digital economies. His conversations with founders and specialists are designed to make complex technological developments more accessible to entrepreneurs and decision-makers. His work has also brought him into contact with startup incubators, entrepreneurial networks, business angels, and project leaders operating between Europe and Africa. This position allows him to understand both the standards expected within established business environments and the specific structural, financial, and operational challenges faced by entrepreneurs developing projects in African and emerging markets. Beyond technology, Samuel’s central expertise is business construction. He focuses on the systems that allow an idea to become an organised company: a clearly defined offer, a coherent business model, appropriate legal and operational structures, sound financial management, effective governance, measurable objectives, and disciplined execution.
