Summary

Transitioned from VC to operator/builder: Loïc spent multiple years in early‑stage venture (Curiosity VC, visiting analyst roles) focusing on data‑heavy and AI/ML investments, then founded Magiclaine and moved into ops and automation roles (Vox AI). This shows a deliberate move from investing to hands‑on building and scaling automation for both funds and portfolio companies. curiosityvc+2
Data/AI orientation blended with systems thinking: his work at Curiosity VC focused on AI and data-driven diligence and portfolio support, while Magiclaine's capabilities emphasize data pipelines, enrichment and CRM/dealflow automation — a pattern of combining investment judgment with engineering/automation practice. openvc+2
Technical foundation from TU Delft informs commercial work: Loïc holds a BSc in Civil Engineering and an MSc in Management of Technology (TU Delft); his MSc thesis addresses VC valuation for software startups — illustrating a mix of engineering rigor and technology management applied to venture and product problems. tudelft
Community engagement and public speaking: active in regional tech/VC communities (speaking at Nordic Tech Week, Venture Café and similar events), signaling an interest in ecosystem building, knowledge sharing and community networks. nordictechweek+1
