Jean-Michel Planche’s Summary
I’m an Internet entrepreneur, but Internet 0.0, when the Internet was closer to Lickliddeer, Cerf and Landweber than bubble and 2.0 dream money maker only.
I’ve spent my life promoting the value model and the technology of the Internet: the user-centric revolution. First, with OLEANE, one of the first PROFESSIONNAL Internet operators in the world (AS2917 - we started operation in UUCP) that we have since sold to France-Télécom in 1998. And now with WITBE, (AS15436) representing a new generation of “end to end” monitoring technologies aimed for today challenges.
Also, time permitting, I love to help spawn new businesses. I've created Tancred Venture, a venture capital firm dedicated to exploring new areas of innovation in IP world, from scratch or in partnership.
Some past deals include Algety Telecom (Corvis acquisition) and Netcentrex (Comverse acquisition).
