Discover the story of Saskia Fiszel, co-founder of Virgil, at the next "in an armchair" conference at H7.Â
A graduate of Science-Po Paris, ESSEC Business School and the University of North Carolina, Saskia Fiszel began her career at onefinestay, a start-up revolutionizing upscale hospitality. For 5 years, Saskia helped roll out the offering on a European scale, until it was sold to the AccorHotels group in 2016.Â
It was during this experience that she met Keyvan Nilforoushan, her future partner. Together, they identified a major problem for an entire generation: access to housing. This realization prompted them to found Virgil, with the mission of enabling young working people to access home ownership with peace of mind, thanks to a co-financing system.
Since its creation in 2019, Virgil has already advised 10,000 aspiring homeowners and financed over €50 million worth of Parisian real estate. To further its mission, the team has also launched Spoune, a medium dedicated to financial education.Â
In 2023, she is one of the 10 women to watch in French Tech, according to a ranking by Sista and Les Echos.Â
On Wednesday, October 23, join us at H7 to discover Saskia Fiszel's career and go behind the scenes of Virgil's foundation.
