Jean Pierre Chesse is a Series A investor at Bleu Capital focused on Apps and SaaS. After being a founder and CEO for 16 years of Sinodis, a 150 M$ business in China, today is time to support young entrepreneurs, musicians and artists to achieve their dreams and build even bigger projects together. So, I am looking at investing in start-up, making socially responsible investments or pure philanthropy.
