Jerome Billiet

Spotlight on the one and only Jerome Billiet – the dude’s a straight-up hustler and a total boss in the startup game. So, he’s part of YC’s S23 batch, which is no joke. He’s the co-founder and COO of Converge, a killer startup that’s all about making marketing for B2C ecommerce super simple and accurate. Basically, if you’re selling stuff online, Converge helps you see what actually works – no bullshit, just facts.

But here’s what’s dope – Jerome didn’t just fall into this. Dude’s got a solid finance background, studied at London Business School – that’s where he learned how to think big, stay sharp, and run shit smoothly. That background? It’s what gave him the edge to build Converge into a lean, mean machine. They hit $1 million ARR with only four people on the team. Holy shit, that’s efficiency – like, they’re crushing it without a massive squad. That says a lot about him: he’s all about operational efficiency, leveraging the newest tools and AI to squeeze every ounce of output from a tiny team.

And get this – Converge was born in 2022, just a year or so before they blew past 180 customers, including some big public companies. That’s fast. It shows Jerome’s got the vision and the hustle to identify real problems in marketing measurement and then build a solution that’s actually the real deal. You can tell he’s not just in it for the tech – he’s motivated by having an effect, solving real problems, and not wasting time with bullshit.

What does this all say about him? Honestly, Jerome’s the kind of guy who jumps into the deep end, learns fast, and then just crushes it. He’s got a sharp mind for finance and strategy, but he’s also super hands-on with operations and tech. His process? It’s all about the grind – taking a solid background, spotting an important problem, and then building something that really moves the needle. No Cap, he’s the kind of founder who proves that with the right mix of smarts, hustle, and focus, you don’t need a giant team to make a huge impact.

So yeah, Jerome Billiet is one of those founders who’s just getting started but already showing he’s the real deal. He’s shaping the future of marketing measurement – and honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s just getting warmed up.
