Florian Bersier
Founder, Chairman
I believe the inbox is the smartest—but most underutilized—dataset in your company. My background isn't typical for a SaaS founder. With a PhD in Complex Systems from Oxford and a Masters from École Polytechnique, my roots are in data, algorithms, and the science of how things connect. When I looked at email, I didn't see messages; I saw unstructured data and broken processes. I built Gmelius to fix this by injecting intelligence directly into Gmail. What we are building: Gmelius is the first AI-native collaboration platform for Google Workspace. We combine shared inboxes with powerful AI agents that draft responses, dispatch conversations, and automate complex workflows. We turn your inbox into a self-organizing workspace. Why it matters: Most tools force you to work for them. I use my expertise in AI and behavioral economics to build tools that work for you. Fast Facts: 🚀 Y Combinator Alum. 🤖 AI Pioneer: Leveraging complex systems theory to build smarter email agents. 🏔 Personal: Swiss native, skier, cyclist, and father of two.
