Hey,
My name is Wala KASMI, and I identify as a founder.
I was born in Ain Draham, a small town in the northwest of Tunisia, to a mother who worked at the court and a father who taught history. In our home, studying and reading were the greatest investments my parents made. We didn’t even buy a house until every child had graduated. Those values shaped me deeply.
As a child, everyone thought I would become a lawyer. Growing up around the court, justice and debate fascinated me. Later, I explored political science and law, carrying that early dream with me.
I moved across different parts of the country, attending schools where I shared benches with both the very poor and the very rich. That contrast gave me perspective. It showed me how differently people live, yet how much we all have in common.
In the end, I became a network engineer. But the turning point came as a teenager, when I first discovered the internet. It wasn’t just the information that amazed me. It was the way it connected me with people I would have never met otherwise. That’s when I realized my passion was not just in technology itself, but in how it could bring humans together.
Then came the Tunisian revolution. I lived it fully, deeply. I saw how people organized in a decentralized and autonomous way, without waiting for permission. That experience changed me. It led me to develop a multidimensional theory of change and to dedicate myself to building new systems of collaboration between humans, powered by technology.
