Si l’optimisation du dernier kilomètre 🚲 suscite depuis des années l’intérêt des VC, avez-vous déjà pensé à optimiser les 33 000 derniers ? S’optimiser soi-même, construire son propre vélo en bois 🪵 et le pousser à l’extrême, dépendre du strict minimum pour avancer. Du lean management dans son bois le plus brut. Avec son lot d’imprévus, où chaque kilomètre se vit comme le dernier : basculer de 35°C à -20°C en à peine 5000m de dénivelé, s’endormir d’épuisement dans une love room en Turquie, se réveiller déboussolé en prison au Pakistan, ou ne pas dormir du tout quelque part entre l’Équateur et la Colombie. Se demander si tout ça en valait vraiment la peine, médusé par l’immensité des vagues 🌊 sur son bateau ras d’eau en plein milieu de l’océan Indien, là où les kilomètres, on ne les compte plus. C'est ce qui a motivé chacun des coups de pédale de notre analyste Giorgio lors de son tour du monde de 12 mois, sur la selle de son vélo en bois. Le dépassement de soi, la fougue, cet équilibre affirmé entre l’irrationnel et le rationnel - la course vers le changement – l’urgence d’y arriver. Chez CapHorn Invest, nous ne nous contentons pas d’investir du capital. Nous investissons dans des visions, des équipes et des rêves audacieux. Si vous vous retrouvez devant votre écran samedi à 13h, vous retrouverez Giorgio Fouarge sur le journal de la RTL.be 📺.
