Builders behind the start page

Biographical summaries here stick to verifiable public statements. This page does not list current employers or projects unless cited in historical Openoox coverage.

Co-founder · product origin

Julien Danjon

01net identifies Danjon as an ISC Paris graduate who conceived a simplified personalized page while doing in-home tech support. WebLife and Maddyness interviews quote him on Openoox’s three-pillar experience (organize, share, discover), international languages, and community terms such as Ooxers.

Co-founder · business

Denys Chalumeau

FrenchWeb, Journal du Net, and Maddyness describe Chalumeau as a serial entrepreneur associated with SeLoger.com, PromoVacances, BilletReduc, and related brands. He partnered with Danjon to productize the start-page concept. Capital Finance (2015) reports he left day-to-day operations after the funding round while staying involved as an investor.

Co-founder / CMO (2015–2017)

Lorenzo Nuccio

ITespresso’s December 2015 funding article lists Nuccio as co-founder with Danjon. Public LinkedIn summaries describe a CMO role at Openoox from April 2015 to May 2017 and reference the €1M+ raise. MyFrenchStartup’s directory emphasizes Danjon and Chalumeau as founders—illustrating how databases diverge.

Organization snapshot

MyFrenchStartup lists a Vincennes address (27 Avenue Gabriel Péri, 94300). LinkedIn company data describes a small Paris-area team and nonprofit classification—treat corporate type fields in databases as self-reported, not legal advice.

Historical LinkedIn posts mention a community manager (“Rudy”) sharing onboarding links via oox.me short URLs. That detail is preserved as archival color, not evidence of current staff.

What we do not claim

  • No current titles, headcount, or investor board seats unless re-verified from primary sources.
  • No photographs of founders unless rights-cleared; this archive uses typography-only presentation.
  • No contact emails for historical product support (e.g. addresses appearing in old extension manifests) as active channels.
