Founder

U-Topia Ecosystem

It started with one meeting. In 2021, I'm 20 years old and I meet Emmanuel Quezada, CEO of U-topia Ecosystem. He shared a bold vision: creating a groundbreaking Web3 ecosystem. Days later, I joined as the sole US-based team member.

My title? Director of Partnerships.
My mission? Own the US market.

Over 14 months, here’s what I accomplished:

- Built connections with 20+ teams, linking U-topia to other metaverses.
- Led meetings with companies like Binance.
- Partnered with NFT communities to create interconnection bridges.
- Engaged VCs to showcase U-topia’s vision and future.
- Spoke at global events, sharing the stage with CEOs of $100M+ companies.
- Traveled to Dubai to meet the team face-to-face and strengthen collaboration.
- These moments weren’t just professional wins—they were personal milestones.

I grew relationships that turned into lifelong friendships. I learned the art of trust, connection, and creating real value in a fast-moving industry.

But as CURAT—D, my content agency, began to demand my full focus, I faced a tough decision. I chose to step away from U-topia to fully dedicate myself to my next chapter.

Today, I’m proud of the foundation we built together.
U-topia is now working with global giants like Adidas, FIFA, and Walmart, building cutting-edge IP products and redefining the Web3 space.

I’ll always root for their success and the bright future ahead.

Director of Partnerships | Partner

MONACAIR

In 2021, I was 19 years old and joined Monacair, Monaco’s premier private helicopter service, as a Business Development Intern.

My mission was to assist in expanding Monacair’s reach.

Over two months, here’s what I accomplished:

- Assisted in refining Monacair’s B2B partnership strategy.
- Conducted market research to identify high-value clientele and potential partners.
- Supported the sales team in optimizing customer acquisition efforts.
- Helped improve internal processes by analyzing client data and operational workflows.
- Gained firsthand experience in the ultra-luxury aviation space, working alongside a high-performance team.

I learned lessons in high-stakes client relations, precision-driven service, and the power of seamless logistics.

It was fast-paced, high-energy, and filled with invaluable insights.

But as my passion for branding and business growth evolved, I knew my next challenge awaited.

Still, I’ll always appreciate the experience and the foundation Monacair gave me in navigating elite service industries.

Building digital legacies for Founders & CEOs | Founder of CURAT-D

I’m Aurelien, and I help b2b founders turn their personal brands into a revenue-generating machine.

My journey started 7 years ago when, at 15, I launched my first company, STRADA PARIS. I had no experience, but I had a vision. 

Fast forward a few years—while I was still a student in Boston—I made my very first LinkedIn post, and everything changed.

What started as a leap of faith turned into a business that helps founders build their personal brands, drive growth, and generate serious revenue.

In 2022, CURAT—D was born. 

Since then, we’ve partnered with 7-figure founders, signed high-profile clients (including one of Hollywood’s biggest names), and helped our clients close a $4M deal—all by using LinkedIn organic content.

Aurelien Scagnolari

I'm turning 24 this month. Two years ago, I graduated college and went all in on building CURAT—D. Here's everything that happened in the last 912 days:

Studied in Boston, majored in Entrepreneurship. Always wanted to build companies (first one was at 14)

In college, I went to every conference I could. Met people online. Published everything I was learning on LinkedIn. At the time, blockchain was booming. I posted a ton about it.

Joined a company as Director of Partnerships. I was tasked to expand their US presence. Through that role, I got invited to speak at a Summit in Silicon Valley (people were paying $5,000 to attend). Got invited to the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. I was 20. It was surreal.

I had about 4,000 followers. 

CEOs started reaching out asking how I was doing it. They wanted tips. This was before "LinkedIn gurus" were a thing, so my help actually mattered.

I helped them for free at first. Creating posts. Getting attention. They'd sign deals. I thought: okay, there's something here.

Then I started getting paid. Freelance gigs. Pay-per-project stuff.

And I realized: if you have customers, you have a business.

My girlfriend (still my girlfriend today) helped me with the branding, the mission statement, all of it. I took four weeks in the mountains to focus on building. Then I launched.

A few weeks later: first clients.

Then I did a world tour. Seoul, Dubai, Singapore, Tokyo, SF. Meeting leaders, clients, learning everything I could.

In 2023, I lost 80% of my revenue in four weeks.

I was doing everything myself. Posting dozens of client posts every week. Not delegating.

People started telling me the business was going to fail. That I wouldn't make it.

I didn't know what to do. So I restructured. 

And then I had the best month ever.

Where are we now?

New website soon. 

Amazing partners I'm meeting in person as much as possible.

People trust me for the work we do. For the skills of my team.

But I know what got me here won't get me to the next level.

My LinkedIn presence still books me a ton of calls every week. That's the foundation.

But now it's about scaling beyond just me.

The mission is to make CURAT—D the best personal branding partner ever created.

White-glove service for founders making $1M to $30M a year.

Build personal brands that get them leads, visibility, trust, authority, all of it.

I'm healthy. I've got an incredible team.

Now we keep pushing. We keep building.

Here's to 24.

Founder at CURAT—D | We partner with service & tech founders to build authority that compounds into clients, capital, and opportunities

I'm hiring our first full-time Content Strategist at CURAT—D.

If you want to work with founders who've exited for 8/9 figures, Hollywood talent, global leaders, and CEOs building legendary companies, this is it.

You'll be paid to extract stories, shape ideas, and turn them into content that drives results.

And if things go well you'll grow into Head of Content next year and own the entire department.

If you're in apply, or tag someone who should :)

Thank you Antler.

8 weeks ago, I'm thinking about a problem. 
My clients keep asking: "Can we do video content?" Sure. But then:

"What's the script?"
"What lighting?"
"Which camera? Should I use my phone?"
"Who edits it?"

It becomes this whole thing. So they don't do it.

But video is how leaders are communicating now. Fortune 500 CEOs speaking directly to stakeholders. 

Video forces you to be real. You're either authentic or you're not. There's no hiding behind polished copy.

That's the power of it.

Then came the idea…

What if I made it stupid simple for founders to shoot video?

Show up. Sit down. Answer questions. We handle everything else.

That's when The Booth idea hit me.

I called Ted Merz, CFA. He spent 3 decades at Bloomberg. Incredible person. Perfect partner for this.

"Let's do it."

Two weeks later, we had a spot at Antler to test it.

We set up the booth on a Saturday. Had to be ready by Monday.

Ted looks at it: "This isn't soundproof."

He's right. It's in a co-working space. If someone's recording, no one can work.

Panic mode. Went to Amazon. Bought the best soundproof panels I could find. Installed them overnight.

The results:

30 founders interviewed. 15 minutes each. 7.5 hours of footage.

We asked everyone: "How was your Antler experience?"

Every single person said the same thing. Life-changing. Amazing community. Incredible tools.

4,000 applicants. 150 accepted. Only 8-10 get funded. Everyone's dialed in from morning to night for six weeks.

The emotions were real. It was the end of their cohort, the last week.

We compiled all the answers into one video showing gratitude to Antler and what the experience really means to founders.

Thank you, Antler and the whole NY team, Kaila Jeff McKenzie Malcolm-Wiley Sam Allie Wouter.

Ps: If you want the booth in your space, send us a DM :)

There was a moment I decided I wasn't going to live a normal life.

I was 16.

My dad used to travel to the US for work. He'd come back and tell me: "That place is full of opportunities. Full of ambitious people. If you want to be successful, discover the world, meet interesting people, that's where you need to go."

I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life yet. But I asked my parents if I could spend a year abroad in the US. 

They said yes.

I spent a year in Denver, Colorado with a host family I still consider my second family.

That's where I discovered entrepreneurship.

Books. Business conferences. People like Gary V and Tai Lopez (yes I know…) telling the young generation: "You can write your own story. You don't have to follow the traditional path."

I read everything I could. Started thinking about building businesses.

And I came back to France thinking: this is what I want to do.

I wanted freedom. Agency over my own agenda. The ability to travel whenever I wanted. To be my own boss, not over other people, but over my own life.

So I finished high school in France. Started a clothing brand with my best friend. Learned a ton.

Then went back to the US for university. Joined a company as Director of Partnerships at 19. Built my personal brand on LinkedIn. Content was crushing it.

People started asking: "How are you generating this content while working and being a student?"

I started helping them.

That's how I got into this world.

But here's the thing, I've never struggled with anything in my life. 

My trauma isn't from high school or some personal hardship.

My trauma is from seeing people who couldn't afford things.

My dad also used to go to Africa when I was a kid. Every time I didn't finish my plate, he'd say: "I'm going to take you there and you'll see if you ever leave food on your plate again."

His message: You're privileged to have food. Finish it. Because there are people who would die for the scraps you're leaving behind.

I've seen both ends. People who had everything and were unhappy. People who had nothing and it was tough.

That's why I wanted my reality to be different.

I saw what was possible and what wasn't, and I wanted to be on the side where I had control.

I've been building toward this ever since.

If you're a Head of Marketing or Head of Comms at a company right now and you're NOT convincing your CEO to create video content in 2026, you're missing the biggest shift in founder-led communication we've seen in years.

Here's what's changing:

Leaders are speaking directly to their stakeholders.

No PR or corporate comms team polishing the message. Just raw, honest communication through their own channels.

And it's working.

Look at the examples:

Guillaume Moubeche from lemlist (company valued at +$150M) is crushing it with video content, speaking directly to customers.

Jon Gray from Blackstone does polished earnings calls in a suit, then sits at his desk and breaks down the three takeaways like a YouTuber. 

Jensen Huang does the same thing with his keynotes.

And don’t make me say what i didn’t say…this isn't about "being on social media." It's way deeper than that.

It's about trust, authority, and visibility. And it's a positive-sum game for your business.

Now why video?

Because the future of communication is more honest, more transparent, more raw. And video is the medium that makes that possible.

You can't fake authenticity in a 2-minute video the way you can in a polished press release.

Your stakeholders, (customers, investors, employees, partners,) want to hear from YOU. Not through a third party, or a filtered through a medium. 

Directly from the source!

The pushback I hear:

"My CEO doesn't want to be on social media."
"They're camera shy."
"They don't have time."
"They don't know what to talk about."

I get it. But there's SO MUCH to talk about.

What brought you to where you are today? What challenges did you face building the company? What details about your industry do people not understand? What decisions are you making right now that matter?

Finding which stories to tell (and how to tell them without sounding like everyone else) is the hard part. That's where we come in.

What we do:

We help you figure out which story to tell the world about you. Not making you look like someone you're not. Just finding who you are as a person, what matters to you, and packaging that in a way that resonates.

We build deep relationships with every partner (client, whatever you want to call it). We get to know you. We pull the stories out. We help you communicate them in your voice.

And with AI becoming more prevalent, choosing the right words, the human words, matters more than ever.

The bottom line: 

If you're in marketing or comms, your #1 job in 2026 should be getting your CEO to take the mic.

Video content from founders drives trust, authority, and visibility. It's not optional anymore. It's table stakes.

And if you need help figuring out what to say or how to say it, that's exactly what we do at CURAT—D.

Let's talk.

I haven't taken a day off in two years. Not a single one. For +900 days, I've worked for a few hours minimum. Usually more.

If I get in a car accident tomorrow, no one will take care of the business. I’ll even lose a few clients.

If something happens to my family, I still have to show up.

Entrepreneurship is way too glorified online.

"Be your own boss." "Work from anywhere." "Make millions."

But let me glorify it for you:

Some Saturdays I'm working at 11 PM. Some nights I'm sending emails at 2 AM. Some mornings I wake up stressed about what happened overnight with my US clients while I was asleep in Europe, some I won't sleep at all

There's always something that can go wrong. Deliverables. Client expectations. Cash flow.

It's not glamorous, yet I personally wouldn't do anything else.

Yes, it's hard. Yes, I work every single day. Yes, there are no sick days or vacations.

But I get to build something from nothing. I get to work with incredible people. I get to learn by doing.

And I'm grateful for it every single day.

Just don't let LinkedIn fool you into thinking it's easy.

Re-introducing CURAT—D.

We're a personal branding partner for founders and CEOs.

what we do:

We extract stories (the real ones, not the LinkedIn versions). We dig into your entire life, your company, how you actually operate, how you hire, what happens behind the scenes. Who you are as a person.

Then we amplify those stories at scale.

Two engines: video content and written content. Mostly using LinkedIn as the vehicle to get your voice out there in a way that actually sounds like you.

We work with founders for 6 to 12 months. Sometimes longer.

founders we work with are doing $5M to $20M in revenue per year. They're at the stage where their personal brand matters, for hiring, for partnerships, for deals, for authority in their space.

Our process is not quick.

We audit everything. your story. your company. how you do things differently. what makes you interesting. what pisses you off. what you believe that most people in your industry don't.

We meet you in person after a few months because you can't build someone's brand over Zoom calls alone. You need to see how they move, how they talk when they're comfortable, what they're like when the camera's off.

We don't use frameworks nor we apply the same playbook to everyone.

Every founder is different so is every story. That's the whole point.

If you're a founder who's tired of sounding like everyone else, let's talk.

I do manually what everyone else tries to automate. I have enough data right now to automate everything. The content creation. The commenting. The outreach. All of it.

I could plug an AI tomorrow and watch my profit margins go up.

But I don't, why?

Because I've seen what happens when you optimize for scale over soul. Founders end up with content that performs but doesn't feel like them. Posts that get engagement but don't build trust. Frameworks that work on paper but miss the whole point.

Personal branding is really messy, emotional, human.

Our content calls with clients…Sophia Kelly told me they feel more like therapy than marketing interviews. She told me once they helped her with self-discovery, questions she hadn't even thought to ask herself.

Most CEOs never sit down and reflect. They're in the weeds all day, working their asses off, then they go home. Repeat.

But when we do these extraction sessions, something usually clicks. "I haven't thought about it that way." "That's actually interesting."

I have an author as a client, he's used to this kind of thinking. But for most CEOs, these calls are more valuable than actual therapy sessions.

A lot of founders are blind to their own stories.

They don't see what's interesting about their journey until someone goes in and pulls it out. That's what we do. We extract. We find the emotion, the energy, the thing that makes them different.

Not a hook or a framework. 

If you look at our case studies, there's a pattern, storytelling that feels unique. Content that sounds like the person, not like everyone else running the same playbook.

Could I automate this and scale faster? Sure.

Would it work as well? No chance.

I'm running my own race here. Focused on depth. On the stuff you can't systematize.

And that's exactly how I want it.

I help you turn LinkedIn into a LEADS Machine using AI-based KEY framework | Join my beginner-friendly workshop for just ₹9 | Get ₹9,799/- worth of bonuses | Check out the link below for more details

My first business failed.
I lost $6,000. I lost confidence.
It felt like building something great - and then watching it crash.

I was a first-time founder.
No plan. No strategy. Just an idea.
But no one saw it. No one bought it.

That’s when I realized:
→ Having a good product is not enough.
→ People need to see it. And trust it.

So I turned to LinkedIn.

I posted for 90 days.
→ Barely got any views
→ Zero engagement
→ No leads
It felt like my profile was invisible.

But I didn’t give up.
I tested everything. Some failed. Some clicked.
After a year, I built a simple method that works.

I call it the KEY Framework.

It’s not a hack. It’s a system that helps you:
→ Build trust
→ Create content people care about
→ Get seen by the right audience

The result?
→ 2M+ views in a year
→ Invited to podcasts
→ Audio events with 500+ people
→ Featured as a Top Voice on Btalkz

All of this - without ads or a marketing degree.

If you’re new to LinkedIn, this is for you.
KEY is built for beginners. It uses AI + simple steps that work.

Want to build:
→ Meaningful connections?
→ Inbound leads?
→ A profile that people remember?

"Gen Z doesn't work hard"
"Boomers can't keep up"
"Millennials need too much praise"
"Gen X is aloof"

We hear these clichés all the time.
And they miss the mark.

What is true? People who began their careers in different eras often value different things.

If you lead them all the same way, you'll lose them.

Every generation wants respect.
Every generation wants to perform well.
They just define those things in their own way.

Credits and thanks to George Stern on sharing this valuable one!

This guide breaks down:
↳The myths about each generation
↳The reality behind them
↳Where tensions usually show up
↳How to lead them effectively

🟦 Gen Z (1997–2012) 🟦

Seen as: Entitled, fragile, glued to their phones

In reality: Value boundaries, adapt quickly, inclusive, want broken systems fixed

Frictions:
"They're always late!"
↳Gen Z: Judge us on output, not clock hours

"They leave after 6 months"
↳Gen Z: Growth matters more than blind loyalty

"They only talk in emojis"
↳Gen Z: We move fast and use the tools people actually respond to

🟩 Millennials (1981–1996) 🟩

Seen as: Overly sensitive, indecisive, craving praise

In reality: Collaborative, meaning-driven, tech fluent, resilient

Frictions:
"Do they need a participation medal for everything?"
↳Millennials: We want feedback, not empty praise

"They want both promotions and freedom?"
↳Millennials: You can have ambition and balance

"Why do they always need consensus?"
↳Millennials: Collaboration is strategy, not weakness

🟥 Gen X (1965–1980) 🟥

Seen as: Checked-out, resistant, aloof

In reality: Independent, results-focused, steady, reliable when trusted

Frictions:
"They stay silent in meetings"
↳Gen X: We speak when it matters, not to fill air

"They don't like change"
↳Gen X: We've seen trends come and go, we trust what works

"They prefer to do their own thing"
↳Gen X: We want autonomy, not micromanagement

🟫 Baby Boomers (1946–1964) 🟫

Seen as: Tech-illiterate, inflexible, outdated

In reality: Loyal, relationship builders, long-term thinkers, mentors

Frictions:
"Why do they always want phone calls?"
↳Boomers: That's how trust is built, voice to voice

"They don't understand tools like Slack"
↳Boomers: We'll adopt tools if we see the benefit

"They push back on every change"
↳Boomers: We question because we've seen what can go wrong


The truth: Generational categories are patterns, not hard rules.

Leaders don't manage stereotypes.
They manage people.

The strongest leaders?
↳They remain open-minded
↳They adapt their approach
↳And they connect with people on their level

Which generation do you connect with most, by age or by mindset?

This will launch your career into the stratosphere. (Not Joking!!) 


Understanding these key frameworks will have a huge impact a leader's career growth.

A study by the Harvard Business Review showed that leaders who demonstrate a strategic acumen are 45% more likely to be promoted to senior roles during their career.

Adding these business essentials to your leadership arsenal will help you create a legacy as a growth-oriented leader.

📈 In this Fuel Your Growth Cheat Sheet, we explore 5 Essential Business Models to help you become a “Next-Level” leader.

The 5 Business Essentials include:

1/ Six Sigma
2/ Stakeholder Analysis
3/ Gap Analysis
4/ Scenario Planning
5/ Competencies Model

♻ Repost this to be the hero of your network.

Motivation fades fast. It can be unreliable.
It comes and goes depending on the day, the mood, or the weather.

That’s where discipline steps in.
It keeps you moving when the spark disappears.

Progress takes shape through the small daily choices. 
The times you show up tired, unready, or unsure, and still do the work.

Discipline is what turns “someday” into something you can measure.
It’s not glamorous, but it’s what gets results long after motivation’s gone quiet.

Keep showing up.
That’s where momentum starts, and also where most people stop.
Don't be most people.

I’ve helped build multiple businesses.

There’s one thing I notice in the people who drive growth consistently…
They make business development easier, not harder.

Here’s how they do it:

1. Build Relationships, Not Contacts
↳ Focus on people, not just deals
↳ Invest time in understanding their goals and challenges
↳ Aim for trust and goodwill, they pay off long-term

2. Understand the Problem First
↳ Listen before pitching
↳ Ask questions: What’s your biggest challenge?

These principles show up repeatedly across strong BD functions.

Here are the top 10:

1. Simplicity always wins
 → If your offer needs a long explanation, it’s not ready

 → They pitch features
 → Winners diagnose the pain better than anyone else

3. The best BD teams learn fast
 → They test messaging weekly
 → They adjust before the market forces them to

4. Ideas matter more than effort
 → More outbound isn’t the answer
 → Better angles, better narratives, and better positioning are

5. Relationships compound like revenue
 → Small acts of value build trust
 → Trust opens bigger doors than cold outreach ever will

6. Emotions drive decisions
 → Buyers choose based on clarity, safety, and confidence
 → Logic only justifies the feeling

7. Follow-up is the highest ROI activity
 → Deals rarely die from rejection
 → They die from silence

8. The best BD teams don’t sell - they educate
 → Insights beat pitches
 → Showing expertise removes friction

9. Growth depends on a repeatable system
 → A pipeline you can measure
 → A message you can scale
 → A process you can teach

10. Speed matters more than perfection
 → Get a version out
 → Collect data
 → Improve
 → Repeat

These ideas show up in every business that grows predictably.

LinkedIn has launched a powerful AI‑powered conversational search (currently for Premium users in the U.S.)

Here’s how savvy business builders can use it:

1. Search by Intent, Not Keywords
 ↳ You no longer need to know someone’s exact job title or company. 
 ↳ You can type plain‑language queries like:

“Founders with biotech and FDA experience”
“Investors in healthcare startups”
“Ex-cofounders who built productivity companies in NYC” 

This means better discovery of people who are actually relevant, not just people with matching titles.

2. Find Relevant Connections Faster
 ↳ LinkedIn uses AI + its professional data
 ↳ The search results are now context‑aware, showing people who fit your intent

- Looking for a mentor?
- Trying to hire an expert?
- Exploring potential partners or investors?
Conversational search makes that way easier.

3. Use It Strategically for Growth
 ↳ Founders can locate advisors or co-founders.
 ↳ Sales and BD people can find leads based on what they actually do, not just their title.
 ↳ Recruiters can identify candidates who fit real-world criteria.

4. Combine AI with Traditional Filters
 ↳ Use natural-language search for discovery
 ↳ Refine with location, experience, and industry filters for precision

5. Track and Follow Up
 ↳ Keep a list of AI-discovered leads
 ↳ AI may find the lead, but relationships still need nurturing.

If you want to grow your network, business, or team, this tool can save hours of guesswork.

What’s one way you’d use this new AI search to grow your business or network?

LinkedIn has launched a powerful AI‑powered conversational search

Stop guessing. Start growing.
Most business developers waste hours chasing the wrong leads.

Here’s how the top performers do it:

1. Identify your ideal customer
 ↳ Who really benefits from your product or service?
 ↳ Don’t go after everyone - focus on the ones that matter.

2. Map their pain points
 ↳ What keeps them awake at night?
 ↳ Solve their real problem, not what you think they need.

3. Prioritize your outreach
 ↳ Focus on the leads most likely to convert first
 ↳ Your time is limited, make every action count.

Do this consistently, and your pipeline stops being random.
It becomes predictable, efficient, and profitable.

Most people skip this step and wonder why results never come.

Start today. Focus on the right leads.
Your business growth will follow.
