Yannick Barnel, Enzym CEO

Yannick is what we call an entrepreneur, a project initiator, actually we’d call him the project gardener -minus the overalls. He is the founder of Enzym. He planted the seed, surrounding himself with a reliable team whose members all contributed, each with their own expertise, to the development of the dApp of tomorrow.

Innovation, experimentation, risk-taking. Challenge is what gets Yannick up in the morning. To be the first. To create a way, not to be alone, but to be a pathfinder to others. Yannick considers life like a scientist: he articulates a hypothesis, tests it out and changes his formula, always going forward.

And it works. Yannick created and ran several companies and successful fundraising campaigns. His long career in the e-commerce industry taught him that the client -or user- is King. There is no secret, just respect the user and its privacy. Yannick learned this during his years as the French leader of the online sale of scuba-diving equipment.

He is passionate about finance and geopolitics, of which he enjoys studying the inner workings. Especially since the arrival of new technologies such as cryptocurrencies and the blockchain.

And once again, Yannick is the first, the first one to put forward a social gaming dApp in Augmented Reality based on the Ethereum blockchain: Enzym.

Enzym is a pretext, an excuse. A superficial world, a rigid society, the scarcity of human interactions, here lie the real issues. Enzym is a dApp, a game, but most of all an excuse for people to meet, chat, and normalize social exchanges in a fun way. Although getting two people to meet in the street is nothing innovative.

Or is it ?
