Walid Barsali, CEO of Ballsquad, and President of the new French Tech Warsaw, was interviewed by Billy Yen, community member of La French Tech Krakow.

The #Polishstartup wants to democratize access to #publicfacilities for citizens by establishing partnerships with local administrations and bringing them into the smart cities age.

The idea started in Romania when the French-Algerian played high-level basketball and needed access to public courts that were managed with pen and paper.

Starting from frustration, Ballsquad was born to bring a solution.

The serial entrepreneur discussed his path, from 2018, from finding a technological partner in Ukraine, and how the COVID period was a blessing in disguise for the young company.

According to Walid, "there is no silver bullet in business, and you need to go through (many) failures to learn and improve."
