Xavier Damman is a technology entrepreneur and the founder of Storify, a journalistic web tool that is used by media organisations such as The New York Times and Al Jazeera to tell rolling stories using social media content. He spoke to EurActiv’s Laurens Cerulus.
Like many entrepreneurs in the technology sector, you moved to the US to start your company. How come you didn’t start in Europe?
People often ask me if I could have developed Storify in Europe. And the answer is: No. This couldn’t have worked here. I was trying to find money in Belgium at first, but it was close to impossible.
