Thomas Rebaud is 28 years old when he founds Meero in 2016, driven by the desire to make the Internet more beautiful. The story begins in 2007 when he joins EMLyon Business School. Still a student, he becomes president of the Junior branch of the World Entrepreneurship Forum, a cooperation present in 15 countries whose aim is to developentrepreneurship as a vector of growth and employment in the world. Through this, Thomas develops a solid knowledge of good business practices. In 2013, with a second Masters under his belt, he sets up his first Internet-free loan comparison company, which works well but doesn’t take off. So he takes up an opportunity with Diji, a new kind of IT consultancy and engineering company. And that’s it.
