The Rebound with Alexandra Boussommier (ImVitro)

The Assises du Rebond remind us that entrepreneurship isn’t just a story of success… it’s also a story of resilience, learning, and courage.

It’s the perfect occasion for us to share our latest podcast episode, where we welcomed Alexandra Boussommier, founder of ImVitro, a deeptech startup that aimed to revolutionize in vitro fertilization through AI.

Trained at Cambridge, MIT, and Imperial College, Alexandra dedicated six years to building a company at the intersection of science, health, and technology before making a bold decision: to close her company.

In this episode, she teaches us:

👉 The importance of validating the problem before building the technical solution
👉 That execution matters just as much as vision, especially in healthcare
👉 That you shouldn’t be afraid to take the plunge: go big or go home
👉 How to get back into the field and pay attention to weak signals
👉 And finally, that ending one journey often means starting another

Through her story, we celebrate those who dare to start over, learn, and reinvent themselves.
