Who we are

Fifteen years building software.
Ten years investing in real estate.

Diane came out of both.

We are Diane's two founders, with a team of around ten people alongside us. Each on our own side, we spent fifteen years starting, running and selling software companies. And for the past ten years, we have been buying, renting and selling property. Diane is the tool we wish we had for our own listings.

Jonathan

Distribution, marketing and product

Jonathan leads distribution, marketing and a large part of the product at Diane. An ESSEC graduate and a serial entrepreneur in technology, he founded and later sold a company specialized in mobile advertising. His path also took him through cinema and audiovisual production, where he built a solid command of image and storytelling.

A real estate enthusiast, he now brings that threefold culture, entrepreneurial, creative and property-minded, to the Diane team, with one shared ambition: to build the reference platform where real estate professionals simply create videos that hold attention and do their listings justice.

Technology, AI and product

Raphaël designs and writes Diane: the technology, the artificial intelligence and a large part of the product. A serial entrepreneur too, he founded, ran and later sold several software companies over the past fifteen years. He works with artificial intelligence every day and knows its limits as well as its promise.

A property dealer for ten years and an investor in both long and short term rentals, he has been putting his own listings online far longer than he has been working with AI. He carries that twofold culture, technical and property-minded, into the same ambition.

Before Diane

This is not our first product.

For fifteen years, each on our own side, we built software companies. Some grew past thirty people. Others served several thousand customers. In fields that had nothing to do with one another. We sold several of them.

What that changes for you

  • When you write to us, a founder reads your message.
  • A good idea reaches Diane in days, not next quarter.
  • AI is not a selling point here. It is a tool we know how to tune.

Two founders you can reach. Write to us and your message goes straight to them.
