Summary
- Franck Nouyrigat's Electis platform aims to design the future of democracy by providing a space for researchers, public officials, and cryptographers to experiment with various election formats.

- Early experiments with decentralization in elections are primarily focusing on ballots and results.
- Franck's company, Electis, has gained the participation of 26 universities in just one year.
- Franck acknowledges that entrepreneurship is not easy and questions whether he has truly helped or potentially disrupted people's lives. He believes that entrepreneurs should receive more credit for their achievements, as their impact can go beyond revenue numbers.
- Franck predicts that recycling entrepreneurs and their expertise will become a common practice in company management in the future.
