Profile
Background
Benoit Hediard is an entrepreneur from Nantes. In 2011, he co-founded Agorapulse, a French social media management platform, where he was CTO. He took it from zero to more than $20M in annual recurring revenue and tells that startup-to-scale-up story in a series of Medium articles.
In 2024, he launched Globetrotters.ai, first conceived as a travel assistant that reproduces the experience of talking with an expert, then grown into an “AI presence” platform for destinations, hotels and attractions. It helps them become the trusted source that AI assistants understand, cite and recommend.
He is interested in the Agentic Web and TravelTech, and in how travelers now ask AI assistants instead of searching the web.
