Hoche Hour with Jean de La Rochebrochard: The Art of Judgment – VC, Human, and Prose
Join us for an evening with Jean de La Rochebrochard, Managing Partner of Kima Ventures (Xavier Niel's investment arm) and partner at Cassius. Over the past decade, Kima has backed more than 1,000 companies including Mistral AI, Alan, Sorare, BeReal, and Poolside—but Jean is equally known for his philosophy on decision-making, courage, and leadership.
Author of "Human Machine" and the influential Substack "Venture Prose," Jean will join a conversation with Jus Mundi Co-Founder & CEO Jean-Rémi de Maistre in exploring the messy, human questions beneath the surface of building.
Why You Shouldn't Miss This
In an era where AI and data are becoming abundant, judgment remains scarce. Whether you're an investor evaluating opportunities, a founder building a company, or a lawyer advising clients, the quality of your decisions determines everything.
Jean has made thousands of high-stakes decisions under uncertainty and developed frameworks for when to trust intuition, when to override it, and how to cultivate the self-respect required to act with conviction. These lessons transcend venture capital.
You'll leave with:
Perspective on making better decisions
Understanding the psychology of courage—why smart people fail to act on what they know
New thinking on sustainable ambition without burning out
A rare glimpse into how one of Europe's most active investors actually thinks
This event is part of Hoche Hour, Jus Mundi's speaker series featuring exceptional thinkers at the intersection of law, technology, and global affairs. Space is limited.
