Philippe Simo

Founder of Investir Au Pays, a platform about entrepreneurship and investing in Africa

Philippe Simo is a French-Cameroonian entrepreneur and content creator behind Investir Au Pays. His platform combines videos, training, coaching and events to help its community examine entrepreneurial projects and investments connected to Africa. Afrofeeling hosts him as an Afropod guest but remains the publishing media source for Ooléle’s selected interview.1,2,6

01 · The profile

Background & perspective

His professional profile documents study at Université de technologie de Troyes from 2007 to 2010 before the development of Investir Au Pays. In a retrospective published in 2024, he places the start of his regular video production roughly six years earlier. That chronology is presented as his own account, not as an independent measurement of his audience or impact.3,4

Investir Au Pays now presents a mix of training, coaching, conferences and digital content around investing and entrepreneurship in Africa. Its contractual notices identify Philippe Simo as publication director, while the statutes of its French entity, created in 2025, appoint him as president. Ooléle recaps keep a clear boundary between his general guidance, the platform’s commercial offers and any individual financial decision.1,2,5
