[Reading time : 3 - 4 minutes]
Hi everyone !
My name Ben and i am very happy to join this community, and too see how active it is!
I wish i could dedicate more time to it, but it’s already a beggining.
I am in love with the platform, its small design features that make it so respectful, from the unique onboarding to the casual message editor. I decided to use the so-much-convenient [details] options for making my presentation more digest !
Generalities and activity🔮
I am Benjamin, a 25yo french social entrepreneur, based in Paris.
I launched founded what we call CareGame : video games that finance charities.
From my frustration of the time (I) spent playing video game probably, and quite clear-sighted (read: disillusioned), I try to make this time useful for our society as a whole : making donations to NGOs simply by having fun.(Besides, video games can be great from elsewhere, too ! educational, inspiring, artistic, …)
We launched a first mobile trivia game called Le Schmilblick that donates 15% of its revenues to charities : even playing for free, advertising helps financing environment, education healthcare or inclusion non-profits. It has had 60k downloads…and counting!
Now we want to scale this and enable any mobile game to structurally donate to charities, without cutting their revenues (using blockchain, too). More info on www.caregame.com. We are always open to new talents, so if you’re interested, ping me !
More Background 🏠
I grew up in Paris, i graduated in a great business school called ESSEC. Also did an exchange program with Copenhaguen Business School. I enjoyed so much the campus life that i was president of its student club during one year - and was also involved in more than 6 student clubs (see: “Passions” 
️)
i did a 6month internship in a digital marketing startup in Palo Alto, which triggers my interest for social entrepeneurship
I had the chance to travel a lot : 2 months in Bolivia/Peru, 1 in Brazil, India, Morocco several times, and many places in our lovely small Europe.
I live with 4 amazing roomies in East Paris
I’m an ENFP (MBTI personalities scheme)
Passions 🎈

️http://benjathuil.tumblr.com/
• I enjoy art, food, wine, cheese, photography, nature
• I’m very interested in the media sphere, how it’s evolvling
• French politics of course fascinate me. I’m a deep supporter of another system for election (“Vote par jugement majoritaire”). I took part in a local election movement.
• I also enjoy hunting, even if i’m trying to be vegetarian for ecological reasons.
• I’m organizing with friends a no-phone retreat with ~100 people to enjoy life
Why I am here 🙄
To feel less alone fighting for a #TechForGood movement, no feed my brain with great ideas from all over the world. To meet very interesting people? To share from small tips to deep debate about our world and how tech impact our lives.
I try to be active here in my spare time and would be happy to organize a Meetup in Paris, or at least to organize something with the community here (see: France Chapter / Meetups)
Cheers !
