Exiliv is a digital companion for early-stage founders building a business in France: clear checklists, on-demand know-how and an active peer network in one workspace.
We met in 2023 while advising founders who were relocating to new countries and expanding into new markets. The same story kept repeating: capable people drifting off course amid paperwork, scattered advice and endless loops of "who is the right contact?".
In France the information exists, but it is spread across dozens of portals, mostly in French, and support tends to stop on the day your company is registered. Selective programmes help a few founders. Most, and newcomers especially, are left to piece it together alone.
Exiliv closes three gaps:
To give founders in France the tools, knowledge and human support they need to launch and grow a business faster, cheaper and with fewer mistakes.
The go-to companion for early-stage founders in France, blending structured guidance, expert insight and peer community in one streamlined workspace.
Co-founder & CEO
Sets the course and leads partnerships, finance and hiring. Deian lives in France and runs a business here as an immigrant entrepreneur himself. Before Exiliv he advised founders on relocation and expansion and worked as a venture capital analyst.
Co-founder & CPO
Turns founder pain points into the product roadmap and leads content and community. Daniil has led business analysis and product work for ventures across Europe, the US and South-East Asia, and studied political science and high-tech entrepreneurship.
We start with international founders in Paris, Lyon and Marseille, then open Exiliv to every early-stage founder in France, whatever their background.
