The program creates a space and structure that forces you to delve deeper into key strategic topics that you don't necessarily dwell on in your day-to-day activities. Being able to discuss key strategic elements with Pierre, my co-founders, and the other entrepreneurs was very powerful. Communicating your ideas clearly and concisely to a diverse group and getting their feedback and perspectives is a game-changer.

By joining 34 elements, I knew we would be challenged on the strategy and direction of our project! And we have been, deep down, always with good intentions, understanding and objective analysis. Thank you Pierre for the value you brought us, and thank you to all the other entrepreneurs for sharing their experiences during these 7 weeks!

Pierre brings the best of entrepreneurship to the world at an astonishing level of simplicity and understanding. His global and international experiences are invaluable in opening eyes to what a business should be. He challenges founders, the project, our vision, and our ambitions to take them to the next level. This course should be mandatory for everyone when they become entrepreneurs.

34 Elements allowed us to be more organized among the founders and focus on our goals. It helped us create a clear product vision to communicate to the team. We became better entrepreneurs!

Nicolas Réaud
COO — Kobi
The CompassCohort 1

"Make haste slowly, and without losing courage, Put your work back on the loom twenty times, Polish it without ceasing, and repolish it, Add sometimes, and often erase." Pierre is to start-ups what Boileau was to poetry. This path that seemed strewn with bumps will become a highway of impeccable smoothness... after long hours spent questioning everything! :-) 34elements has been very valuable to us. A big thank you to both of them.

Marie Tors

34 Elements was a game-changer for us. We realized how important it was to take the time to discuss strategy and vision. We now feel more confident.

34 Elements helped us gain a clear perspective on our startup and ask ourselves the right questions to approach the future. A great product without a concrete strategy is a marriage doomed to failure.

Arnaud Gazet
CEO — Refer
The CompassCohort 1

34 Elements gave us a holistic view of our startup. This was especially valuable because we're usually caught up in day-to-day activities and rarely get a good, objective overview and understanding of areas we need to improve.

Alexis Martin
Co-founder — Uniseed
The CompassCohort 1

34 Elements delivered far more than we initially expected. It was truly a two-month communion, it brought us closer, it helped us align our vision early on, and the feedback from fellow entrepreneurs, regardless of their background, was always relevant. Pierre is a true master of his craft. We recommend him without hesitation!

Olivier Mermet
CEO — Mirepoi
The CompassCohort 1

The 34 elements experience is very structured to build you up more solidly and it may start with a saving destructuring... a well-constructed method to unfold the 7 weeks, group exchanges with mirror effects and above all the eye of the coach, demanding and benevolent who in a holistic approach will highlight the points to work on. What else? Just do it! Thank you to the 34 elements team for the richness of this course! Essential for any entrepreneur!

The only "training" that opened my eyes to concrete actions to take as a founder. Constructive discussions, which shift the focus on the vision we have of each element. There is, in my experience, no other valid method for achieving the consolidation of the fundamentals of your company. Love.

Loïc Lechelle
CEO — Skewer Lab
The CompassCohort 2

I am happy to have discovered 34 Elements and to have found in Pierre the entrepreneurial spirit that I was always accustomed to while creating my first two startups in California. Pierre and his team will guide your startup through a thorough thought process consisting of 34 elements that you will need to address in order to increase the chances of getting your project off the ground. I would highly recommend anyone who is serious about their project to enroll in this academy and unless you can move to Silicon Valley, 34 Elements is your best bet. I will be on the lookout for the new batch of startups and look forward to the amazing alumni networking opportunities. Keep up the good work, guys!

Benoît Cerceau

Honestly, there will be a before and after. Your program makes us think and helps us a lot. Although I studied at a top school, the clarity of the method is truly excellent. Thank you.

More than just a batch of new knowledge, 34 Elements has offered us a new way to analyze our daily actions, our solution, our strategy... It is now a new beginning full of ambition for the Feelback team.

Anthony Retailleau
CEO — Feelback
The CompassCohort 3

Personally, 34 elements is a very useful experience that allowed me to gain confidence in myself, in my entrepreneurial instinct that had been detected a long time ago, but it is only today that I see it. My motivation and ambition have suddenly increased tenfold. For our team, it also allowed us to concretely sit down to reflect on key and founding subjects thanks to the framework and methodology provided by Pierre. It is also reassuring to do it with an experienced mentor who guides you on the path. We come out changed, with directions to take, confident that they are the right ones and new professional reflexes. Then, we have to go for it!

Sarah Gaillard
Co-founder — Luminous
The CompassCohort 3

334 Elements was a real turning point for MonitoHR. We realized the importance of constantly challenging our strategy and the positive impact this approach had on our performance. During these seven weeks, we grew as founders, but above all, as a company. We feel better equipped to achieve our ambition.

Olivier Bellucci
Co-fondateur — MonitorHR
The CompassCohort 3

Our 34 EL sessions were a real catalyst for Luminous: we came away with more focus and more ambition. It generated great discussions between co-founders and partners; it allowed us to refine our Go to market and our Business Model. While the first one was relatively expected, the focus on the BM was a surprise. Pierre is also very structuring in the approach and allows us to effectively frame the discussions. As a result, 34 EL was beneficial for Luminous, with more strategic and tactical vision and better control of priorities. It was recommended to me (thank you) and I am doing the same.

Matthieu Coussi
CEO — Luminous
The CompassCohort 3

I learned! A lot in a short time. Mainly that the product is simply a consequence of structured strategic thinking. What I like about 34 EL? The American mindset, with common sense. The method is formidable; everyone draws on Pierre's experience and that of their cohort mates.

Charles Pellé
CEO — Revelhome
The CompassCohort 3

34 elements is primarily designed for start-ups, and many of them participate, some of which will soon be part of our daily lives. But 34 elements is also good for entrepreneurs who need to question the fundamentals, even for a 17-year-old company like mine. It did me a world of good, both through the method and through the discussions with Pierre and the other entrepreneurs. I recommend it to everyone; you will always get something positive out of it in your business management. Thank you, Pierre!

Bruno Smadja

COO — Kannelle
The CompassCohort 4

Thanks to this unique and unorthodox method implemented by Pierre, we completely redesigned our model in just a few weeks. We could have reached the same conclusions in several months, but thanks to Pierre, it only took us 8 weeks! Many challenges and questioning are necessary to move in the right direction, even if it means leaving our comfort zone. 34 Elements is a must at any stage of progress, I recommend it to all entrepreneurs! Thanks again Pierre and congratulations on everything you do!

Marc Guesneau
CEO — Alber
The CompassCohort 4

As life does things well, 34 elements have fallen into place in our development! After a first year of marketing, the program allowed us to take a step back from our activities, identify the weaknesses of our structure, clarify our vision and our strategy, optimize the management of our priorities, strengthen ties between the funding team, ... A thousand thanks Pierre! Go accelerate our growth.

Ryad Saadaoui
CEO — MIAP

The ONLY training course created by an entrepreneur for entrepreneurs! No bullshit, 34 Elements gives you the keys to execute well, question yourself and progress while staying focused on what is really important when building your startup! This should be a must-have! And the icing on the cake, Pierre will give you valuable feedback thanks to his many experiences as an entrepreneur and VC. You will see, you will be a better founder after these 8 intensive weeks

Pierre, through his unique method, helps us ask the right questions but above all to structure ourselves thanks to a methodology that places us at the heart of our reflections. Beyond providing us with the best expertise possible, Pierre helps us to bring out our qualities and to have confidence in our choices. The 34Éléments Académie is a unique program, imagined and delivered by entrepreneurs who have gone through all the stages they approach, which makes it a most legitimate and qualitative program that I recommend to any entrepreneur, at any stage of their project

Vanessa Bianconi

The CompassCohort 4

In just a few weeks, we've been able to progress faster than we've ever made in the past 18 months. Pierre puts his finger on the sore spots and then makes us think so we can find ways to correct our trajectory on our own. He questions your strategy and vision and invites you, via the 34e éléments platform, to find the answer.

Grégory Besson

The 34 Elements Academy was a revolution in my life as an entrepreneur!! Pierre changed our vision of startups. Thanks to this academy, we changed our business model to reach a market 50 times larger than our initial market. Thank you, Pierre!

It's 8 weeks to deconstruct my preconceived ideas and fears, thanks to tailor-made coaching! I'm already feeling the effects through my mindset, revisiting my vision, giving it more light, and changing Wizama's strategy to ensure its success. Thank you for this gift. It's a real investment.

As an entrepreneur of an early-stage startup, I found working with Pierre truly eye-opening in his exploration of all the alternatives and potential of the project. I highly recommend him to entrepreneurs who want to challenge their business vision with an international mindset.

Andréa Mocellin

The CompassCohort 5

Pierre has a strategic mind and loves entrepreneurs. 34 Elements' support is tremendous and keeps us on the right track. I can't be grateful enough. I met some exceptional entrepreneurs during the session and learned a lot from their experiences. Every entrepreneur should take the 34 Elements program.

Jonathan Amsellem
CSO — Onecode.ca
The CompassCohort 5

Pierre's approach, very American in its mentality, allows us to approach our entrepreneurial project differently, to ask ourselves deep questions and to carry out a real introspection on our startup. In particular, the work done on our purpose was the real starting point for all the themes covered in the academy and allowed us to then realign the strategy, the team, the value proposition, the gotomarket, etc. I appreciated the 1/1 with Pierre, who with his experience and his method, makes us ask ourselves the right questions and go further in our reflection. I recommend 34 Elements Academy, thank you Pierre

Thomas Pandraud
CEO — Air Tech
The CompassCohort 5

It's a transformative experience. Pierre asks questions most founders don't think about. Every problem you discover in your projects has its origins elsewhere. It's an uncomfortable but essential process. Virtually nothing in your current plans will end the process in the same place.

Cassiano Gobet
CEO — Troovr
The CompassCohort 6

How lucky to have been introduced to Pierre. One of the best choices I made for my project. Pierre makes us feel how essential strategy is to our project. He doesn't give you the solution; he makes you touch and feel it! The pace is intense and captivating. You thought you had a good idea, the 34 Elements program will allow you to convince others.

Aurelien Coget
CEO — R2Devops
The CompassCohort 6

Despite a first round of discussions with prestigious BAs, I had a biased view of my problems and my company in general. Pierre brings you out of the cave and shows you where to look. It's transformative, challenging, and humanly enriching! No matter your internship and what you think you know, go for it!

Raphaël Salimi
CEO — Insidy
The CompassCohort 6

More than a training course or an accelerator, 34elements is a simple yet effective framework. Despite 10 years of entrepreneurship, I am grateful to Pierre for allowing me to benefit from it. Thanks to him, I see things more clearly, everything is simpler, and I can move forward again.

Alexandre Touzet

The CompassCohort 6

You can join 34 elements with your eyes closed! In my opinion, you're even taking a lot more risks if you don't take this training!! ;) Unconscious incompetence is the worst thing for a startup and a founding team. With Pierre Gaubil and 34 elements, you'll discover a structure, challenges, and keys to improving your business positioning: saving time & avoiding pitfalls, here we come! For our part, the change of direction is undeniable and we highly recommend it!

Pierre Noguès

Think you know everything there is to know about innovation, iteration, or entrepreneurship in general? Then wait until you join 34Elements, expertly led by El Professor. The program is designed to make it impossible for you not to improve your offering. For eight intense weeks, ask yourself the right questions and answer them straightforwardly. Thank you, Pierre, and long live 34Elements!

If you're looking to seriously rethink your startup or if you're stuck, you've come to the right place! Solo founders or not, 34 elements adapt to everyone. Prepare to sweat, but not to cry, because Pierre is always kind, because he's always right. Like a surgeon, he will operate with you on your startup to help you take it to the next level. An experience not to be missed and an excellent investment!

Florence Rusconi

The CompassCohort 6

Pierre is the Guardiola of entrepreneurship. His foresight and strategic thinking allowed me to better understand the world of startups and investors, allowing me to save considerable time and refine our business strategy. Unlike many programs or so-called "experts/mentors," Pierre has already experienced the highest level, and that is priceless.

Omar Hassan

34 elements helped us gain clarity on both our positioning and our product. In practice, Pierre knows how to find the right words to create the necessary clicks. It was also a wonderful collective experience! We will definitely be back.

Caroline Mignaux

The CompassCohort 7

The 34 elements academy or one of the most beautiful opportunities of my career. Clearly before 34 elements I was not aware that my project without this knowledge, had no chance of reaching the level that I wanted. Regardless of the professional background, the training, certain information is transmitted from person to person and the strength of 34 elements is also that! Pierre is extraordinarily calm, direct, blunt but caring, always! He will not whisper the answers to you but he will give you all the keys to go and find them!! A journey that will not be forgotten! And a journey that continues with 35 elements... if I had to say a single word to Jean David.R who opened this door for me and to Pierre it would be THANK YOU!

When you create a startup, you embark on an adventure for which many tell you what not to do, the wrong directions, and that it will never work, especially in deeptech. Sometimes we forget the why and the vision. 34 Elements allowed us to rediscover and anchor the meaning of our adventure by presenting us in a clear and caring way the foundations of our entrepreneurial adventure.

Laurent Guiraud
Co-founder — ColibrITD
The CompassCohort 7

34 Elements Academy is a great experience that I highly recommend to any tech entrepreneur who thinks big. You come out transformed (the product, the model, the vision, etc.), deconstructed and then rebuilt, while having asked yourself the right questions. An abrasive but essential filter before the big dive, a condensed version of high-intensity Silicon Valley, guaranteed without bullshit, with plenty of emulation and good humor inside. Thanks Pierre

Jean-Luc Besset
CEO — Ever.li
The CompassCohort 7

We had the good idea (and the luck) to participate in Pierre's academy when we launched our start-up. He quickly helped us identify our most urgent problems and then co-construct actionable solutions immediately. He doesn't do things for us, better: he helps us think. 0 bullshit, only concrete things, a broad perspective, operational... in short: strategy! It's very valuable. Thank you Pierre

Victor Saison

Stop scrolling through testimonials and pay for your academy right away! An entrepreneur takes risks when it comes to making their project a reality. Here's an investment that will do your project the greatest good without taking any risks. At least the slight doubt about the relevance of this academy will instantly fade after speaking with Pierre for just a few minutes. I don't understand the price of this training; it should be much more expensive. I don't understand how entrepreneurs can launch projects without asking themselves all these questions that Pierre addresses with great intelligence, both in terms of content and form. Not everyone is lucky enough to have a trusted advisor by their side, a VC on their board, a senior in their team, a strategy expert to help them make the right decisions. Pierre is all these people at the same time, and for 8 weeks, you will live in the shoes of a real business leader who makes decisions not blindly but with great lucidity and perspective. Never do this training if you are not ready to question your project, yourself, your ambition, your expertise and especially your offer. Pierre's support lasts 8 weeks but in reality it changes the life of an entrepreneur. Beyond that, Pierre pays a lot of attention to following his protégés well after the academy by giving of his time. Don't worry, you will continue to benefit from Pierre's enormous kindness while giving you a slap in the face of reality. I asked Pierre why he launched this academy when he didn't "need" it. He replied "to give a chance to undertake to those whom life has forgotten." If you have read this far, it is because you did not listen to my advice from the beginning, so listen to it now: go sign up for this gem that Pierre is offering you before he changes his mind!

Anis Moualdi

The CompassCohort 8

Participating in the program offered by Pierre through 34 elements was not only instructive but also very enjoyable. Pierre generously distills his rich and varied experience. Based on his analysis of his successes but also the mistakes he may have made during his many entrepreneurial experiences, he has drawn up a rich 10-point program that leads you to take a step back from your own intuitions and develop new approaches to streamline your development. Almost all of the topics covered have since been implemented for the good of society. Beyond the program and its richness, it is a chance to have Pierre to lead it. He is incredibly human, attentive, and a source of sound advice. It is also appreciable to see that the relationship is long-lasting, well beyond the initial program, and in a completely selfless manner with all the alumni who have passed through his academy. A big congratulations to him and his initiative in favor of entrepreneurs.

Anthony Graveline
CEO — DISAITEK
The CompassCohort 8

When I met Pierre, I had just spent a year on the project. A year of 'good advice', negative and sometimes frankly inappropriate comments from people who have never been 'beaten in the arena' of entrepreneurship. Without saying that I had lost faith, I can say that I was tired. I no longer knew how to move the project forward. For several weeks, the Academy allowed me to rework the project in depth, to question everything and to structure elements that needed to be. It also gave me access to a part of the ecosystem that we rarely have the opportunity to meet: those who have succeeded. Being able to work with one of them is an opportunity not to be missed. Upon finishing the Academy, I realize the intelligence with which it was built, the work it allowed me to do on my position as an entrepreneur and what it allowed me to glimpse into the future of the project. Pierre, thank you for the Academy, the time, energy and knowledge that you put at the service of entrepreneurs.

Elisabeth Zambelis

34 Elements, the support you absolutely must follow!Thanks to Pierre, we have undergone a profound transformation in the way we approach Neemmo. The proposed methodology allows us to review each essential point in a pragmatic manner. His valuable advice and constructive criticism allowed us to thoroughly analyze our product, its market, its strengths and weaknesses, and to rethink our strategy. For example, the 34 Elements experience gave us a new perspective on how we design our product by reflecting on our core value. We are now more confident and aligned with our vision, ready to take on challenges and transform our product-market fit into a success. A big thank you to Pierre for his unwavering support!

Taking this course was the most profitable investment I've made since launching my startup. A very well-oiled methodology that allowed me to complete the course alongside my project. Pierre is a genius; he transformed my vision of entrepreneurship. By choosing to invest in 34 Element, you are choosing to invest in yourself.

Alan Ghenassia

I met many so-called "experts" in entrepreneurship. They all gave me advice, and Pierre gave me a method. I now have the means to answer all my questions and be confident in where I'm going. Not only am I moving forward faster, but I'm moving forward with much more peace of mind!

Matthieu Nasri

For those who like to fumble and dive into all sorts of new ideas, move on; there are plenty of other very expensive training courses for that. But if you want a clear methodology, examples, to be constantly challenged, and not waste time, don't hesitate.For a long time, I was constantly on the lookout for "experts" who told me to do this or that without really explaining why... After the 34 Elements training, I realize I've wasted a lot of time with useless advice.If you still have any doubts, listen to the interviews, podcasts, and other online resources with Pierre and his "competitors." I think any doubts will dissipate in 2 minutes :-)

Marcelo Dias de Amorin

34Elements helps you avoid the pitfalls of opportunistic development. Pierre's method forces you to conduct a thorough strategic analysis of your business, positioning you in the segment where you need to be with the right message, in order to iterate more successfully.

I am the co-founder of Trackstone, which is my third startup, and I can confirm that Pierre's Academy is very effective and provides a lot for an entrepreneur. Especially if this is your first entrepreneurial adventure. Pierre is incisive and impactful, and he will not leave you indifferent and will forever change your perspective on entrepreneurship. As far as I'm concerned, I can only recommend him.

Florent Vaudelin
CEO — Trackstone
The CompassCohort 10

I was a project manager in IT, I had followed different coaching sessions, to dare to get started... and once that was done, well... I didn't really know how to organize myself, what to think, in what order to start... Even if I had clients, I was a little lost on how to continue. My project management side shows that I like structure and organization - I admit :-) I discovered Pierre's training via a podcast, and I was amazed by what he brought - he answered all the questions I could have! I signed up for the freemium to see, and there, what a surprise! It's clear, precise, we live it, we project ourselves. I was scared to death of not understanding anything, but the movement of the group, the kindness and the professionalism of Pierre pulled me up. Clearly, I am not the same today, my project has taken shape, made sense and I am very happy about it. It's often said that we are the result of the 5 people we spend the most time with. Here, I won the jackpot!

Anne Sophie Brossard

The CompassCohort 10

I don't know where you are in your entrepreneurial adventure...in this case, I'm rather early stage. I'll share my journey with you up to 34 elements. After 14 years of employment, I decided to take the plunge and I started by joining Station F. I met peers there and was able to attend tons of workshops (always want to learn!), including those at HEC with great speakers. The problem is that after 6 months, I realized that I was working my network, I was accumulating a ton of knowledge but in bulk without prioritization and I wasn't moving forward on my project. The reality is that people were looking more for incubation to have "cheap" offices in Paris than for the teaching itself...but I was looking for a mentor to move faster and progress, so I left. A few months later, during a lunch with a coach, I shared my desire to develop a more strategic vision of my company. He recommended Pierre to me, but I admit I'm a little fed up with video conferences and training of all kinds... I contacted two former alumni who confirmed the power of the program. I'm using the freemium program and I actually understand the relevance, scope, and importance of laying the right foundations for your business. It's not easy when you're starting out (without a big budget) to allocate time and money to progress, but it's the best decision I've made! The method works for all businesses. Each element is well explained by Pierre, and the 15 minutes with him in a 1-to-1 session are worth 1 hour of executive coaching. He understands your issues and advises you wisely. The 6-week duration is perfect, and plan time to work between each session. I recommend it with my eyes closed; I'd even say you should start there to save time later.

Caroline Bisval
CEO — Décidées
The CompassCohort 10

The best investment I've ever made as an entrepreneur to help me make the right decisions and save time, rather than waste it.I'm lucky enough to meet some very brilliant people in my field. I've also met many coaches and mentors of all kinds.In my 20-year career, Pierre is probably the person who has helped me the most and influenced me in my entrepreneurial adventure.With incredible clarity, no waffle, and even be prepared to be truly shaken up in a positive way. That's the deal with Pierre!Go for it now, don't wait!

Tim Guillois

Pierre has a way of thinking that makes leadership crystal clear. We've changed and built a much stronger value proposition as a result of the program, and the direction is much clearer. The alternating phases of one-on-one and group sessions force us to work on all strategic elements.

34 Elements is undoubtedly the best investment TeedUp has ever made. We restructured, found the "Core Action" for our app, and made a micro-pivot in the business model. In short, these are essential adjustments that now allow us to know exactly what to do to get TeedUp off the ground.

Simon Kuster

The CompassCohort 11

34 Elements is an entrepreneurship school you won't find anywhere else. Its effectiveness can be summed up in three words: method, content, and Pierre, an entrepreneur who knows what he's talking about. His voice is unique, his contributions strategic and pragmatic, and his professionalism helps you ask the right questions and move forward with the right aim, no matter what. I recommend him without reservation.

Céline Mas

We started with 34 elements after having a breakthrough with Cédric during the academy's free "Purpose" phase. There were then 3 other major breakthroughs (the founders, the core action, and the business model) that unblocked the situation Paatch was in to move on to the next stage. All founders should get stuck in! Thanks, Pierre.

Niels Rolland

Pierre's methodology is incredibly effective; it has allowed me to structure my startup in a remarkable way, and I have already seen a positive impact on my sales. His advice has been extremely valuable, prompting me to ask myself essential questions about my business and its environment. The digital platform and presentation materials are also very well designed. Overall, I highly recommend the experience to all entrepreneurs; this academy is a real opportunity to develop your startup. Thank you, Pierre!

Recently, I had the privilege of participating in an intensive program with 34 Elements and Pierre Gaubil. This transformative experience rigorously challenged and reshaped my mindset. The lessons I learned are invaluable for anyone embarking on the journey of building a business. From refining my company vision to developing a compelling value proposition, designing an effective go-to-market strategy, and mastering the art of analytics and measurement, every aspect of my thinking was recalibrated. Throughout this journey, I learned to think differently, to approach each stage of development with fresh perspectives. Today, I can confidently say that I am fully aligned with what I seek to achieve in my startup, in all its dimensions. Many thanks to Pierre Gaubil for his mentorship, his wisdom, and especially for aligning my project with his beliefs and experiences. I truly believe that my time at 34 Elements has added significant value to my startup journey, transforming my project into something far beyond what it was. Throughout my journey, I will be sure to stay in touch with Pierre, who has been a true mentor throughout this process. I thank him and look forward to what the future holds.

Before I entered the tumultuous world of startups, I was overwhelmed by the abundance of information, conflicting advice, and a seemingly endless to-do list. It was in this confusion that I discovered "34elements," the coaching offered by Pierre Gaubil. From the outset, Pierre helped us navigate the complex landscape of building a startup with clarity and confidence. His approach is structured, insightful, and deeply rooted in real-world experience of what actually works in the startup world. With "34elements," we quickly identified the key elements we needed to focus on, eliminating unnecessary distractions and assumptions. What I particularly appreciated about Pierre was his ability to deconstruct past startup successes to extract essential lessons. This offered us a unique and valuable perspective, allowing us to understand the underlying mechanisms and strategies that lead to success. I can honestly say that 34elements has been a game changer for us. Instead of fumbling in the dark, we found a clear direction, supported by Pierre's wisdom and expertise. If you're considering launching a startup and want to avoid common pitfalls while maximizing your chances of success, I can't recommend 34elements' support enough. It's a wise investment in your future success. Thank you, Pierre, for your invaluable support and commitment to our vision. Thanks to you, we're well-equipped to do great things in the entrepreneurial world!

A caring but unfiltered pro who allows us to challenge the key success factors of our project, to ensure that there are no holes in the racket, to offer the opportunity to the "founding" team to be perfectly aligned and to benefit from the feedback of other start-ups... The idea is not to add layers to an existing project, nor to destroy everything that has been done, but to deconstruct without blindness, to rebuild methodically. In summary, you can go there with your eyes closed! But especially during the sessions, don't forget to open them, you will be amazed!!!

Anthony Piquet

Joining the Academy saves precious time. I can approach all aspects of my startup pragmatically and efficiently in record time. Pierre's feedback is invaluable. The Academy ultimately means benefiting from a top-quality advisor to refine or boost my startup. At the end of the program, we were able to completely pivot our project. Join the community to accelerate your deployment.

34 elements is, in my opinion, the ideal bootcamp for a seed startup! In just a few weeks, between group sessions and individual sessions, I gained clarity at all levels, and obviously, the gain in execution quality is considerable! Beyond Pierre's experience as a seasoned entrepreneur, he very quickly leads you to ask yourself the essential questions about your market. 34 elements is a must-have in an entrepreneur's journey. I recommend it without moderation!

Rudy Mroz
CEO — Etyope
The CompassCohort 14

This program allowed us to deconstruct everything we have done so far to better rebuild by taking into account all of Pierre's experience and having more depth in our thinking and thus having a solid base to redefine our objectives, our positioning and our development strategy. With all this upstream work, which we will continue and continue to enrich, we are better equipped and prepared to start a road show serenely.

Jamel Ghechoua
CEO — Yuwway
The CompassCohort 15

We seized the opportunity of being in the early stages of our startup to enroll in the bootcamp. The goal was to refine certain aspects of our strategy. Pierre covers each topic comprehensively, from vision to execution, while challenging us on each one. The content is comparable to that of a business school bootcamp or offered by incubators or accelerators. However, the difference lies in Pierre's innovative methodology. Not only is it proven by his experience, but it also disrupts conventional approaches like TAM, SAM, and SOM, by offering a framework that promises to distinguish your startup in the market and compared to other startups.

Olivier Soudée
CEO — Haliro
The CompassCohort 15

Thank you so much for your academy. It was very helpful for us. Your method allowed us to conceptualize complex topics, allowing us to think intuitively instead. Personally, I've rarely learned so much in such a short time, and especially things we can use. I will definitely recommend you as much as I can.

Christian Verdier

The CompassCohort 15

If you're a young startup, I recommend following the 34 Elements course, which takes place over one month. It's extremely well structured, with no bullshit, just concrete lessons to explore the essentials of the project: purpose, problem statement, unique value proposition, culture & team, market, go-to-market, user experience, etc. In short, it's a summary of what you need to know before hoping to "succeed."I've been in business for four years and have attended quite a few sessions here and there, but this summary is a gem!

Denis Latreille
CEO — ZideeUp
The CompassCohort 15

"An encounter can change your life, your future, your vision...and Pierre is one of those encounters that inspires me because he speaks the truth, with precision and relevance. Far from storytellers who transcribe what they've read and understood, Pierre knows because he's lived it. He knows the way He challenges you with humility thanks to his experiences as a successful startupper at the very heart of Silicon Valley's powerhouse. Challenge your entrepreneurial project now with Pierre; don't wait until you're struggling or lost! His questions are powerful and effective... success often depends on a single detail and simplicity :-) May the force be with you”

Hubert Plessis
CTO — Piter
The CompassCohort 16

"After 18 months of the project, we had piles of data on the table, a bunch of hypotheses, and a lot of difficulty prioritizing it all to draw clear conclusions. In one month, Pierre helped us organize all these elements to build the real startup project we'd envisioned from the beginning, but were unable to put it into practice. This vision, with which we were perfectly aligned, allowed us to quickly plan our Go To Market, which yielded initial positive results even before the end of the Bootcamp. Whatever the stage of development of your project, Pierre's method will help you take stock, shed light on the gray areas of your thinking, and tie everything together into a coherent vision. My only regret at the end of this Bootcamp: not having met Pierre and his 34 Elements method earlier. It would have saved us time and spared us many of the disappointments we experienced at our previous startup with pseudo-support programs. Pierre generously shares his knowledge and experience, and this is a real opportunity for the French startup ecosystem. It's up to you to seize this opportunity by quickly reserving a place in the next Bootcamp! :-)"

Julie Nguyễn

The CompassCohort 16

If you want to gain 2 years on your business, don't hesitate to invest 45 minutes a day for 30 days with Pierre and go follow his Bootcamp. You're not immune to having 2 or 3 revelations that will change your vision.

Cédric Leblanc
CEO — L’atout
The CompassCohort 16

Once again, we say to ourselves that if we had known, we would have done it before!! The academy allowed us to refocus on clear objectives that were in line with our situation. We came out of it feeling better and more aligned among our partners. Exchanging ideas with Pierre every day is truly enriching; it requires work, but it's super beneficial!

Michaël Pastor
CEO — Vrombr
The CompassCohort 16

When you're both CTO and co-founder, the main challenge is making decisions outside the "tech" framework and taking responsibility for them collectively.Having already created a startup with Julie (CEO), I tried everything to escape the untenable "me tech, you... the rest" paradigm: books, courses, various "support"... Everything ended in a waste of time and money, often both.For me, the first major strength of the 34 Elements approach is that we only talk about "product" at the very end of the process, which forced me from the very beginning to let go of the only thing I've mastered a little...The method itself is very well suited to a Cartesian mindset, because everything flows together in a fluid logic, without any awkward transitions, punctuated by the only practical example that interests us: our own.Finally, there's the "magic" ingredient in this story: Pierre, who analyzes, dissects, and often takes apart our daily productions without the slightest compromise, but always with simplicity and genuine kindness.This very intense month of bootcamp really helped me progress. Rest assured, I didn't become a salesperson, but today, I finally have a shared culture with my co-founder that allows us to be aligned in our decisions.

Yoran Brault
CTO — ArNuméral
The CompassCohort 17

Here's what I'm thinking: What if entrepreneurship started with 34 Elements?When Pierre takes apart the nuts and bolts of your business one by one, you have only one option: review all your most solid analyses and arguments.Each challenge is based on solid expertise and a powerful approach that challenges speeches and advice that are sometimes devoid of experience and logic.Sharing knowledge—that's my take on 34 Elements! Imposing discipline on yourself, asking the right questions, and seeing how even the most complex and technical subjects become clear and achievable.Our vision is clearer, and our strategy is already refined.Pierre is here to help you progress with an effective, unfiltered method. The master sessions are top-notch, the one-on-ones are perfect,and the results are there, and above all, you find the answers that move you forward.After this Bootcamp, we never approach our business issues the same way again.

"In a time of uncertainty and questioning my Product Market Fit, I decided to do this bootcamp, which was recommended to me by several successful entrepreneurs. It's one of the best investments I've made since launching Claym. While it does come at a cost for a new entrepreneur, the return on investment is multiplied, and if I could have done it earlier, I would have. This bootcamp is worth all the acceleration programs I've ever tried. Pierre provides an effective, easily understandable method that allows you to put all the aspects covered into practice in one month. It's very structured, and I'm delighted to be part of the community today. Thanks to Pierre, I've understood the importance of topics I hadn't even considered before. Many thanks again to Pierre, and I remain at your disposal if you'd like to chat directly or have any questions."

Farah Kernou

The CompassCohort 18

After working in two incubators that I won't name, the meeting with Pierre Gaubil came at just the right time to support our pivot. The support is effective, demanding, and rather time-consuming because it forces us to ask the right questions and address disillusionment at a rapid pace. This is someone who knows what he's talking about, unlike others, as he's already started companies and has experience. I don't know what will become of Ipesland, but I learned a lot to find our new target and get us back on track.Thanks again, Pierre!

Laurence Descamps
CEO — Ipesland
The CompassCohort 18

"What I took away from this experience was a pragmatic approach that encouraged deep reflection on the fundamentals of one's business, several pit stops, the famous "why," the "problem," unlike the intuitions we often have when we have a startup idea. When you create your business, you're in an F1 car, you spread yourself a little thin, you don't take much time to stop by the pits, take breaks, you skim over certain topics, you watch your competitors on the track. This is ultra-concrete and actionable, which goes beyond a masterclass where you're sometimes a spectator, since you're the one doing the exercise, and therefore the one answering your own doubts and questions. You're in charge of your plan.”

Astride Darmon Rouzin
COO — Augment 3D
The CompassCohort 18

There is a lot of content on entrepreneurship and the keys to business success. But Pierre is the only one who has managed to build a clear, concise, and very actionable program to move from theory to real answers and levers for his business. Also, Pierre presents dense and complex information in a very clear manner. Thanks to his bootcamp, we understood our levers of action and made key decisions.

Ghalia Alami

The CompassCohort 19

A month ago, my co-founder and I attended Pierre Gaubil's 34 Elements Academy Bootcamp, and what I can tell you is that you won't come out of it unscathed, but that's actually a good thing.Pierre is indeed the other voice you should hear at least once in your entrepreneurial adventure, and preferably at the beginning!Pierre challenges you, pushes you to your limits every day of the Bootcamp, and asks you the painful questions that you've been avoiding until now, either out of comfort or intellectual laziness.His pragmatism and unique methodology led us to relentlessly challenge our initial "assumptions." And in such a short time, we've made giant strides in our project, resulting in a clearer positioning of our service, better identified customer targets, and relevant strategic decisions.

Basma Sadani
COO — Deplano
The CompassCohort 19

Over the course of four weeks, Pierre gave us a 360-degree tour of our startup. He helped us gain perspective, but also led us to re-examine critical points that we always put off. Furthermore, although I was initially skeptical about the 15-minute follow-up sessions, I quickly realized their relevance. Finally, a big thank you for the time he decided to dedicate to the entrepreneurs.

Dominique Lin
CEO — Promptility Research
The CompassCohort 20

My partner and I just finished a month-long 34 Elements bootcamp with Pierre. An incredible 20-day session that followed one another, incredibly dense and rich. Many of our paradigms and mistakes became very clear to us. The need to be consistent from start to finish, to sometimes revisit topics that we thought were clear and transparent, to rebuild everything up to the roadmap and the "Go to Market", became obvious at the end. If we had been able to do this earlier, we would have saved a lot of time, efficiency, and money - even if we also capitalized on the progress made and the lessons and mistakes made. It is also a very concrete and pragmatic, operational journey, with actions that we are currently implementing. Far from a theoretical and academic vision, as one can learn in renowned MBAs. Another striking element is the rereading we are doing at the moment, to re-appropriate the dozens of pages of notes, reflections and exercises. Rereading to identify the general vision and the path, and to be sure that we have not missed anything, is almost as involving as this past month. This is how we realize that Pierre has a perfect mastery of his subject, which leads to a very coherent structuring of reflections, coherence that we continue to understand even now. One of the strongest learnings is the discovery (and questioning) of the "Core Action" of the client. This changes our perspectives. I won't say more because we have to discover it with Pierre 🙂 Incredible results, then. Looking forward to the fruits of this work. We have already recommended this bootcamp to many people!

5 weeks to start over and question what already exists. Pierre brings his experience, with rigor and kindness. At the end of the bootcamp, Emycare's vision and mission are identified and the priorities are clear. 34 elements is an investment that I would recommend to all my friends founding a startup.

Barthélémy Fosse

The CompassCohort 21

Clear words, advice that can be applied the same day. Pierre puts things right. Pierre understood our business perfectly and provided us with radically original and relevant advice during each exchange. In terms of metrics, 15 minutes of one-on-one time is equivalent to a month of strategic thinking. Thank you, Pierre, for your pragmatism and kindness throughout this bootcamp.

Benjamin Latli

The CompassCohort 21

"Olivier and I led this bootcamp as a founding team. Beyond the relevance of Pierre's highly pragmatic and relevant method, this bootcamp also had the significant benefit of aligning us, as partners, on the essential issues of our project. This was work that would have taken months with uncertain chances of success. One of our best investments, one we should have made sooner.”

Michael Ferrec

The CompassCohort 22

Pierre Gaubil's bootcamp came at just the right time for our startup, just a few weeks before our product launch. This experience was a real catalyst, allowing us to align our visions as co-founders on crucial aspects of our startup. What particularly struck us was Pierre's straightforward approach. Pierre gets straight to the point. No blah blah about our product. We leave with concrete actions and a clear direction. He has this ability to cut to the chase, eliminating the superfluous to keep only the essentials. We realized that a prospect, even a promising one, is worthless without a defined sales trajectory. Every interaction must serve the company's objectives, period. This bootcamp redefined our values, refined our positioning, and reframed our go-to-market strategy. Pierre forced us to see our startup from a new perspective: more strategic, more focused. Thank you, Pierre. You shook us up, shook us out of our certainties. It was necessary. Thanks to you, we're approaching the launch with a clear vision and renewed energy. We're going to rock.

Participating in the 34Elements bootcamp was a truly transformative experience. Pierre Gaubil has a real ability to create a stimulating and caring environment, where each participant is encouraged to think differently, push their limits, and adopt a clear strategic vision. The lessons are concrete, with directly applicable methodologies and honest and relevant feedback. What I particularly appreciated was the exchanges with the other participants, which allowed us not only to grow individually, but also together. The daily one-on-ones with Pierre are impactful! If you are looking to structure your thinking, accelerate your projects, and gain confidence in your strategic choices, I can only recommend 34Elements. This bootcamp is not just a training program; it is a no-bullshit exchange that will really move you forward.

Benoit Duhamel

The CompassCohort 23

The Bootcamp we did with Pierre was by far the most useful for us, compared to the 5 other incubators, accelerators, and other bootcamps we had already attended. In just one month, we came away with a clear and concrete vision of the priority areas to work on to accelerate our development.

The CompassCohort 24

I had the opportunity to attend the 34 Elements bootcamp, and I highly recommend it to any entrepreneur looking to gain clarity and efficiency. This program is pragmatic, ultra-focused, and above all, adaptable to my CEO schedule, which was an essential criterion for me. In just 30 days, it allowed me to review the fundamentals of my business and structure my thinking to make better strategic decisions with confidence. Pierre Gaubil gets straight to the point. His approach is demanding, without frills, but always constructive. The individual sessions are intense and impactful, and the methodologies he shares are immediately applicable. If you're looking for a program that challenges you, forces you to ask yourself the right questions, and helps you structure the brain of your startup, this is the one for you. An investment with a high ROI, both in time and impact.

Solenne Bocquillon-Le Goaziou
CEO — Softkids
The CompassCohort 24

To be honest, I wasn't a fan of business training at first. I thought that since every business is different, there was no set protocol to follow. However, after the bootcamp, we restructured our thinking about our business and realized that we lacked structure in managing all the essential elements. It gave us a new perspective on our small business.

Tao Xu
CEO — Likikiwi
The CompassCohort 24

"I was fortunate enough to attend the 34 Elements Bootcamp, and it is, without a doubt, one of the most profitable investments I've made as an entrepreneur. With several startups under my belt, I thought I had solid beliefs about business, product, and growth. However, this program successfully challenged, structured, and reinforced my beliefs. Some were confirmed, others were shaken up—and that's precisely the value of this training. Pierre leaves nothing to chance: every decision must be measurable, every pillar of the company must be rigorously managed. He implements methods, values, and metrics that allow me to build a sustainable and scalable company. If I had to choose between an 18-month MBA and the 34 Elements Bootcamp, I would choose the latter without hesitation. In 30 days, I gained clarity, method, and impact. Do you want to build a business based on concrete facts, not assumptions? Do you want demanding, pragmatic, and structured support? Then go for it.”

Zaak Chalal
CEO — Mobioos
The CompassCohort 24

I just finished the 34-element bootcamp with Pierre Gaubil and wanted to share my experience. The proposed method is solid, based on very pragmatic know-how and full of common sense. The sequence of group and individual sessions with a daily cadence forces you to move forward day by day on all the topics covered, without penalizing you in your daily life. Pierre's expertise and experience make the difference - he doesn't hesitate to challenge you, give you new and relevant angles on your positioning, your products, your customers... and offers you powerful insights into your business throughout the bootcamp with valuable recommendations. The group effect is real and gives a warm dimension to the experience. I highly recommend you participate if you want to review the fundamentals of your start-up/SME, be challenged with kindness, and obtain relevant keys that will allow you to scale. It's worth it!

Jean Christophe Laurent
CEO — Penon Partners
The CompassCohort 25

Participating in Pierre Gaubil's bootcamp was a very good investment, both professionally and personally. I found much more than just training: it's a real accelerator of skills, ambition, and clarity. Pierre generously shares his experience as an entrepreneur and investor, with rare candor. He doesn't sell dreams: he gives you concrete tools, proven strategies, and above all, the mindset to build a solid, scalable project aligned with the market. What I appreciated most was the demanding nature of the program, mixed with a caring atmosphere. You are challenged, but always in the right way. At the end of the bootcamp, I not only had a much clearer vision of my project, but also a network of highly motivated founders, all ready to help each other (they were just as helpful as Pierre). I 100% recommend this bootcamp to anyone who is serious about building an impactful business, raising money, or simply taking things to the next level.

Iris Ramos

A huge thank you to Pierre Gaubil and the 34 Elements Bootcamp. This program allowed me to deconstruct all the illusions of growth that pollute the startup world.

It's concrete, real, and it transforms.

The SwitchCohort 2

In two weeks, we: validated the target customer and the messages we wanted to convey understood that we had to decide when a customer was a good fit identified how to create urgency given the value for customers and worked on how to accelerate the decision, with good timing. The added value is truly enormous in just a few days. We changed our questioning during the first exchange with a customer. Surprisingly, we now start with two closed questions, before opening up to better discover and listen. We were able to implement this the very next day, and the results are quite incredible. We don't have the figures yet, but the impressions we're getting from our customers are incredible. We also re-emphasized the work needed to create urgency, and we realized that there are elements that seem basic, but are essential: reiterating the facts, reminding customers how much of a problem they have to solve. We're almost no longer in a mode of questioning, but of assertion. Here again, by trying every day with the team, the impact is significant. And finally, the work to understand what the right timing is for clients and what factors can accelerate or slow things down. This really helped us review our questioning method and our playbook. Great, Pierre, thank you so much!

Pierre Gaubil's "The Switch" really revolutionized our approach to prospects: in just a few hours, we rethought our entire sales process, we tested it immediately, and the results were felt from the very first calls. It's short, concrete, and well-oiled—frankly, go for it.

After several startups, one challenge kept coming up: getting out of my technical comfort zone to truly put myself in the customer's shoes. As someone with a very tech-focused background, I thought I could do it. In reality, I remained unconsciously attached to my area of expertise.Pierre's sales training was a real turning point. I learned to understand the real business challenges of my interlocutors, without trying to reduce everything to technical aspects. I finally cut the cord with this dependence on 'proof by tech'.Thank you, Pierre, for helping me bridge this gap. I feel aligned, more clear-headed, and above all, closer to my customers.

A shot of pragmatism and common sense — but above all, a wake-up call on essential sales steps. Everyone wants to shorten their sales cycle, but no one dares to walk away and stop conversations that linger in the hope of “closing someday.” After going through 34 Elements, I brought my boss into this bootcamp, and he was so convinced he asked me to train my team in this mindset!

Caroline Bisval

Iris Ramos
CEO — Step
The SwitchCohort 3

A fundamental bootcamp — absolutely essential for anyone selling their product or services! I started applying Pierre’s methods during the bootcamp and saw their impact on my results in real time: 1. Create urgency to turn a prospect into a client as quickly as possible. 2. Quickly filter those who see the value of my product from those who don’t → instead of wasting weeks in vague discussions, shorten the conversation and politely end the meeting after 15 minutes, explaining that we’re not convinced we can help them. Just from the time and mental energy saved thanks to this small adjustment, the bootcamp pays for itself in the first week. 3. Understand it’s never about price, it’s about perceived value. If you deliver a 10× ROI for your client, the size of the investment barely matters. 4. Don’t talk about the product/service — focus on the client’s problems, their daily life, and their priorities. Ask questions to truly understand what’s bothering them and whether you can help. If the answer is no → Next. If yes, explain the results they’ll get by solving their problems and what it will mean for their daily life. In short, there’s a lot more that could be said. Some will say Pierre is simply hammering the fundamentals, that what he preaches is “just common sense.” It is. And that’s exactly why his magic potion strengthens and sharpens the mind. Buy anything he sells without hesitation — you’ll thank yourself for the rest of your life.

Magic power to gain: Knowing in very little time if you’re going to make the sale — and how. How? Spend 15 days working and building a new sales approach with Pierre Gaubil and a cohort of outstanding companies. Unique.

Traction, great user feedback, but trouble closing — Pierre’s The Switch bootcamp came exactly when my startup needed it. You come out with immediately actionable methods tailored to your own situation. Pierre’s effective approach strikes the perfect balance between the time you can devote to training and the urgency of a startup’s daily reality. The mix of group sessions, exercises, and one-on-ones is incredibly effective.

Sales is a true science — and Pierre has all the right formulas to help you sell better. This isn’t yet another theoretical training: with him, you apply, you test, you improve.

The 34 Elements methodology combined with Pierre's exceptional mentorship has been a game changer for us and I would highly recommend any CEO, CTO or COO to take time out of their already busy schedule and work with 34 Elements. The ROI is immediate.

Gary Roth

Coaching

Pierre forces you to make strong choices and focus on what matters. It's a common-sense, no-nonsense approach. It starts with the strategic vision, which we tend to forget in these times, being so product-focused. From there, everything he does across 34 elements makes sense, with clear business objectives.

Quentin Rousselot

Coaching

Working with Pierre and the 34 Elements app was a huge help in structuring how to look at our early-stage startup honestly and objectively. It was especially helpful in building strategic thinking and actionable elements around the "non-product" part: go-to-market, distribution channels, how to chart an early path to revenue. I would definitely recommend working with Pierre and his methodology and benefiting from his guidance and wealth of experience.

Corinne Grillet

I would highly recommend working with Pierre and using the software he developed to any entrepreneur, no matter what stage you are in, as he will provide unbiased/unfiltered constructive feedback that is usually hard to get from people.

I just completed Pierre's video training, and I wasn't ready...Pierre has a knack for giving advice, a legitimacy to recommend, and a very good teaching style. He enjoys sharing, helping entrepreneurs, and sharing his feedback with a very precise and supportive method that encourages you to ask the right questions.When you take a video format, you expect to have to listen attentively, without interacting with the trainer... But I was surprised to see that this format also includes exercises to complete (like in the bootcamp), with exercises that aren't theoretical, but rather focused on the context of my startup and its product.In addition, Pierre organizes one-on-one discussions via video (with WhatsApp support) to ensure understanding, follow-up, and explanations of our understanding of the method and how it applies to his business context, in the proposed exercises. And these exchanges don't stop at the end of the course; Pierre is available and remains present throughout the duration...Having already delivered e-learning training, this is the first time I've seen this hybrid format, which transforms one-way video content into high-value training with a unique, clear, and precise method delivered by a trainer who embodies it fully.For the company and its founder, there is clearly a before and after 34 Elements.

Olivier Borde
CEO — TOK1N
The Compass

"I took 'The Compass' video training course, and it's by far my best investment in "startup CEO training" in a long time. First, the format is extremely effective. The in-person bootcamp tempted me, but... it was never possible to be away for several days. With the 'video' Compass, I set the pace, did the exercises, and chatted live with Pierre. In short, I worked on MY startup from day one, with a top-notch instructor. Then, the real value is the instructor. Pierre is a "benevolent iconoclastic scientist" (yes, all that). He puts his finger on the sore spot and gives you the clarity you need to continue leading your startup. You know that feeling when something isn't right in your startup, but you're not sure what needs to change? Don't hesitate. This is for you.”

Frederic Leens
CEO — Exostiv labs
The Compass

"My partner and I followed the 34 Elements course, and it's by far one of the best online training courses I've ever taken. The structure is clear, the content is actionable, and above all, Pierre's personalized feedback, based on his own experience as an entrepreneur, is invaluable. It saved us a lot of time and clarified key points for the development of our startup. The self-paced video format is very valuable, and the result is there: a solid foundation, a clear vision, and a Notion we're proud of (and no, this post is not sponsored 😉) I definitely recommend it to any founder who wants to lay the right foundations from the start."

Deconstructing everything to start anew on a powerful new foundation is what I did thanks to Pierre's Sales training. Sales is a science and a crucial discipline. If thanks to Pierre you increase your closing rate even a little, then it's the best investment of your year.

Sales is THE essential skill for startup CEOs, and Switch is THE essential training course for understanding it and managing your prospects on YOUR terms.

Be careful, the essential prerequisite: questioning yourself. Brilliant and fun.

The Switch made me love sales. Why? Because I now dedicate my time to the clients for whom I have the most impact. You learn to bring together all the elements that truly help clients make an informed decision, and that changes everything. No more uncomfortable "clumsy salesperson" position, which no one wants to be. With each module, you progress in a concrete way, you take action, and you get answers. How? Take the Switch, you'll understand.
